He Copernicus’s last report, the European Union’s climate monitoring program, is causing serious concern. According to forecasts made from satellite data, summer 2024 It will be warmer than usual probability 70%.
If we take into account that recent summers have already been particularly warm and that we have been breaking temperature records almost every month for over a year, this is a very frightening forecast.
In other parts of the world such as Mexico, they are already dealing with temperatures of 50 ºC. Europe, for its part, is emerging from several temperature fluctuations quite strange. The first half of the year has already seen almost summer temperatures several times, so we wondered how hot the summer of 2024 would be. We now know that it may be even worse than expected. At the very least, we will be ready to take any necessary measures.
Copernicus data for summer 2024
According to Copernicus, the summer of 2024 in the northern hemisphere will be accompanied by a weakening Boy. This is a phenomenon that occurs from time to time due to the warming of the Pacific Ocean. This is something completely natural, although climate change seems to be getting stronger. Typically, El Niño can increase global temperatures by about 0.2ºC. However, in 2023, this contributed to a temperature increase of 1.45 ºC above pre-industrial levels. It is unusual for it to remain at its peak for two years in a row. In fact, Copernicus’ satellite predictions suggest that while he will continue to be very active in June this year, gradually it will weaken.
But this does not mean that we will necessarily have cooler summers. Maybe because last blows Due to this phenomenon, as well as the effects of climate change, it is highly likely that temperatures will be much higher than normal. In addition, forecasts also indicate that the summer of 2024 will be drier than normal. It’s usually pretty dry here already, so drought can be terrible.
Will there be heat waves?
The summer of 2023 was full of heat, so it wouldn’t be strange if the summer of 2024 followed the same dynamics.
With that said, it’s important to start taking action and preparing for what could be one of the hottest years we can remember. In fact, according to the State Meteorological Agency, the summer of 2024 can with a 50–70% probability be placed between 20% of the hottest summer in Spain.
We will have to prepare our homes for a hot summer like the one we are experiencing in 2023. The tricks to trying to sleep despite high temperatures and ventilating your home at the right time will remain the same. Also, as always, you will have to be careful not to go outside during peak temperatures. All this if the forecasts come true, of course. We’ll still have to wait a bit to see what happens.
