Heat Buildup in the Atlantic Could Cause Europe's Hottest Summer Ever Recorded in 2025

Little rain, high temperatures: weather forecasts have long been based on an exceptionally warm summer. Now, researchers from the Max Planck Institute confirm this forecast. Therefore, the background is a heat accumulation in the North Atlantic.

In mid-May, the weather outside the window is increasingly unpleasant and does not even remotely resemble warm summer days. Climatologist Arūnas Bukantis reveals when we can expect summer heat and hints at what the upcoming summer could be like. The frosts, hail and even snow that have raged in Lithuania in recent days are, according to the climatologist, anomalous and unusual phenomena that may continue for at least another week.

German study finds link between heat accumulation in the Atlantic Ocean and heat waves in Europe • Forecast: By the end of the century, almost every summer will be extreme

For weeks there has been little rain, in many places the sun provides for higher temperatures than is usual at this time of year. Many expect a heavy heat summer. And probably also rightly so, as Hamburg climate researchers have calculated.
