"Anomalies and extremes in surface air temperature for June–August 2024. Colour categories refer to the percentiles of the temperature distributions for the 1991–2020 reference period. The extreme (“Coolest” and “Warmest”) categories are based on rankings for the period 1979–2024.
Cool areas (blue shades) appear over parts of the UK, Norway, Iceland, and surrounding ocean areas.
Warmer areas (red shades) dominate much of eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and southern regions like Italy and Turkey.
A significant portion of Eastern Europe is depicted in dark red, indicating temperatures much warmer than average.
