"Europe Braces for October Heatwave Following Record-Hot September"

Europe experienced its hottest September on record, with countries like France, Germany, Poland, and the UK seeing temperatures well above average. The Copernicus Climate Change Service predicts that 2023 will be the hottest year ever recorded. High temperatures are expected to continue into October, with an October heatwave predicted in the UK. A heat dome is forecasted to develop over Western Europe, bringing temperatures as high as 37°C in Portugal and Spain. The World Meteorological Organization warns that greenhouse gases and the El Niño weather event are contributing to record-high temperatures, and the upcoming COP28 summit will focus on curbing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
