Global warming - Researchers register temperature records in the Alps

In 2023, meteorologists in the Alps recorded the warmest September since weather records began. This is reported by the German Weather Service (DWD), Geosphere Austria and MeteoSwiss in the current issue of their publication series "Alpine Climate". The scientists summarize that there were many temperature records and extreme precipitation in the summer half-year 2023.

At the beginning of August, record precipitation fell in southern Austria and the neighboring Alpine regions of Italy and Slovenia, leading to severe flooding. There were also several daily and monthly temperature records from July 2023, the scientists report. After an initial heatwave in July, another one followed at the end of August with new record temperatures, for example 37.6 degrees Celsius in Sion, Switzerland.
