The recent weather report revealed that record-breaking warm weather unfolded in Europe.

The first week of the year recorded exceptionally warm weather.

This year would be different from last year as experts revealed that this January recorded the warmest.

Although experts said that global heating is a problem bringing exceptionally warm weather, high temperatures could raise concerns about the impact on the climate or weather.

Warmest January

According to The Guardians' recent report this January 2, the warmest weather for this January occurred in eight European countries based on data from climatologist Maximiliano Herrera.

Meanwhile, the Met Office reported that the weather for this week in the United Kingdom could expect unsettled weather conditions, bringing rounds of rain in the country.

Ice conditions were also reported that could result in road hazards.

A previous report from the Guardian said that local authorities urged motorists to be extra careful on roads.

Although portions of England experienced colder to freezing weather last year, the beginning of 2023 set record-breaking warmest record for some European countries

According to climatologist Herrera, the weather conditions showed an extreme event.

The data showed that countries experienced warm weather, Latvia, Belarus, Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Lithuania.

The report said that Vysokaje, Belarus experienced 16.4C, which is higher than last year.

The severe winter conditions in the U.S. in December 2022 resulted in widespread power outages, travel delays and deaths.

In the United Kingdom, a previous report on December 30, 2022, showed the bomb cyclone in the U.S. helped to bring rain to the United Kingdom.

Although the weather was not severe, rounds of rain were unloaded as many UK people began their holidays and New Year's celebrations.

Climate change

According to the Met Office, climate change causes sea level rise, droughts and heat waves.

In the United Kingdom, climate change helped to bring warmer temperatures.

Because of climate change, potential heat waves could occur. The report said that heatwaves could unfold by 2050.

On the other hand, Met Office said that the winter in the country would be warmer to wetter.

Not only heatwaves but climate change could also change the weather pattern.

According to the report, heavy rainfall and winter storms became more likely.

In August 2022, BBC News reported how temperatures could affect the weather pattern, especially rainfall.

Anyone could see climate change in the area.

The BBC News also explained that the climate projections in the United Kingdom alone could expect a rise in temperatures, adding that extreme weather patterns could occur.

As a result, the commitment of countries and businesses to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions is important.

The rising temperatures could not only impact humans and weather but also disrupt the biodiversity and many animals that are not used to extreme weather events.
