2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report
Key messages:
a)
#Europe experienced its warmest year, with the second highest number of heat stress days and tropical nights, on record.
b)
The area of Europe experiencing days with temperatures below freezing is decreasing, with the year seeing the largest area on record with fewer than three months (90 days) of frost days. The number of ‘cold stress days’ was the lowest on record.
c)
For the European region and for the Mediterranean Sea, the annual sea surface temperature was the highest on record. It was also the warmest year on record for European lakes.
d)
#Glaciers in #Scandinavia and #Svalbard saw their highest recorded annual rates of mass loss. They also saw the largest mass loss of any #glacier region globally.
e)
Western Europe saw one of the ten wettest years on record and Europe experienced the most widespread #flooding since 2013.
f)
The year saw a record proportion of electricity generation by renewables, at 45%

""Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events. Waters in the #GulfOfMaine are warming faster than nearly every other swath of ocean on the planet, threatening the future of the state’s signature #lobster industry and other #fisheries "
Senator #AngusKing fumes at #ClimateChange being nixed from annual threat assessment
Chris D’Angelo for The Maine Monitor April 8, 2025
"#Maine has been described as a 'climate haven,' [the same for #Vermont] a place expected to remain relatively sheltered from the most extreme and dangerous impacts of global climate change. But the #PineTreeState is far from immune.
"Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events. Waters in the #GulfOfMaine are warming faster than nearly every other swath of ocean on the planet, threatening the future of the state’s signature #lobster industry and other #fisheries.
"Sea levels here are forecast to rise approximately 4 feet by the end of the century, forcing coastal communities, shipyards and military installations to prepare and adapt.
" 'This is a guaranteed threat,' said #AmyEshoo, director of #MaineClimateActionNow. 'It’s not one we can negotiate with. It’s not one that we can put #tariffs on. It’s not one we can go to the table with. We unleashed it. It’s here. We’re feeling its effects. Maine is definitely feeling them.' "
