A study by the international team of climate scientists from Weather Attribution revealed Friday that the breaking record temperatures in April in the western Mediterranean were driven by climate change.
The scientists outlined how the current heat waves and the unusually high temperatures in April are directly related to the long history of climate change, according to Spanish news outlet EuropaPress.
At the end of last month, large areas of North Africa and southwestern Europe saw intense heat waves with record-breaking high temperatures, which have never been seen in the area at this time of year.
The weather scientists used review techniques to compare weather data from the late 19th century with historical climate in order to determine the impact of climate change on these high temperatures.
Consequently, the international organization confirmed that anthropogenic climate change is the main cause of the temperatures recorded in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Algeria during this month of April.
The examination concentrated on the average of the highest temperatures recorded over three straight days in April in the southern regions of Spain and Portugal, Morocco, and the northeastern region of Algeria.
They discovered that heat waves are becoming 100 times more frequent due to climate change, with positive thermal anomalies being more than 3.5oC warmer than they would be.
