The United Nations World Meteorological Organization pointed out on the 11th that currently, parts of Europe, where the world is warming the fastest, are being hit by the fifth heatwave this summer, experiencing droughts, wildfires, and historic high temperatures. This extreme abnormal weather is caused by multiple factors such as global warming and a continuous high-pressure system, and is not caused by the El Niño phenomenon. John Kennedy, head of climate information at the World Meteorological Organization, said at a press conference on the same day that Europe's current high temperature pattern reflects the interaction between the continuous high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and climate warming. High-pressure systems lock in warm air, reduce cloud cover, prevent cold air from entering, and allow heat to accumulate for days or weeks in many places. He specifically pointed out that the current climate conditions in the tropical Pacific region are “neutral,” so this year's European heatwave was not caused by the El Niño phenomenon.
