This past Winter has been Europe's warmest winter on record, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) provides information about the world's climate - including Europe's climate.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) released a report recently, on the 4th of March, reporting on Europe's most recent Winter, from December 2019 to February 2020. The report focused on collecting data from December 2019, January 2020 and February 2020, taking into consideration all of Europe's past Winter. The C3S found through their data that this past Winter was Europe's warmest winter on record 'by far'.
They found a few interesting things within their data. The first was that this past Winter was warmer by 1.4C than the previous warmest Winter on record: the previous warmest Winter on record was recorded in the winter of 2015/16. Another interesting, if not alarming, thing that the researchers found was that in Northern and Eastern Europe was 3.4C warmer than it was this winter than it was between the winters of 1981 to 2010.
They have also found that February in Europe was 3.9C warmer than the average Europe February temperatures between 1981 and 2010. They also found that January in Europe was the warmest European January on record too and that January 2020 in Europe was 3.1C higher than the average January in Europe between 1981 and 2010.
