A Copernicus Climate Change Service report says June is the hottest on record for Western Europe, while also ranking as the second hottest June globally. CBS and The Hindu both report that temperatures across Western Europe reach about 5.5 degrees Celsius above the relevant average, reflecting unusually intense heat during the month. The Hindu describes the period as part of a broader surge in heatwaves, linking the trend to long-term warming driven by human-caused climate change. Free Malaysia Today adds more specific regional figures from the EU climate monitor, stating June’s average temperature in Western Europe reaches 20.74°C and is more than 3°C above the 1991–2020 norm. Across the sources, the central point is that June temperatures in Western Europe significantly exceed typical levels and coincide with record-setting conditions globally, with the June ranking also reflected at the worldwide scale. The findings come from Copernicus, which monitors climate indicators and compares current measurements with historical baselines and recent records.
