What is the extremely cold weather in Europe? Causes of global weather anomalies.
According to the report, the continuous low temperature has led to snowfall in the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Capri, which have always been suitable for climate, and the beach with palm trees is covered with a layer of snow.
The temperature in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, dropped to minus 16 degrees Celsius on the evening of February 25th, and five people were found frozen to death the next day. This brings the number of people frozen to death in Poland since last June 165438+ 10 to 53.
Since last Friday, three people in France and Czech Republic have also frozen to death, and one person in Italy has also frozen to death. Most of the dead were homeless.
In Belgium, several towns had to instruct the police to detain homeless people who refused to go to shelters to prevent them from freezing to death.
Despite the cold snap, this winter in Europe is actually extremely mild. The Austrian Meteorological Bureau said: "Since the 1930s, the average temperature in winter has increased by 0.25 degrees Celsius every 10 year."
Unlike the sub-zero temperature in Europe, the Arctic ushered in a record high temperature, and the temperature on February 25th was above freezing point. Last weekend, the Arctic experienced the highest temperature ever, reaching 2 degrees Celsius, which shocked scientists.
Scientists believe that abnormal weather is probably caused by global warming.
