The scorching summer in Europe will give way to rainfall that could escalate to flooding in some regions, weather experts warn.

Data from global weather forecasting platform WFY24 shows that the first week of September will continue to be warm across the Mediterranean region, with average daily maximum temperatures of around 35°C in Rome, 34°C in Athens and 33°C in Madrid.

This is around 6–8°C above the seasonal average for early September, suggesting that Europe's extreme summers are getting longer and more widespread.

Meanwhile, Northern Europe is experiencing much more “cool and unsettled” conditions, with maximum temperatures of just 21°C in Berlin and 20°C in London. Heavy rain and storms have already broken the heatwave and moistened parched lands in parts of the UK, Germany and France.

The Mediterranean is expected to experience the greatest increase in precipitation.

“September and October are the flash flood season in the Mediterranean: the sea is at its highest annual temperature after three months of warming, while the first cold currents arrive at the heights,” says Ioanna Vergini, founder of WFY24.
The focus is currently on the El Niño phenomenon, which experts have warned could be “the strongest ever recorded” this year.

The World Meteorological Organization warns that this weather phenomenon continues to "steadily intensify" and is expected to "dominate climate patterns" over the next two months.

El Niño increases global temperatures, creating the conditions for more frequent episodes of extreme weather. However, these effects are felt mainly in tropical areas.

South America, the southern United States, East Africa and Central Asia have experienced increased flood risk during previous El Niño episodes, while the risk of drought and fires increases in parts of Australia, northern South America and some Asian countries, such as Indonesia.

Despite reports linking Europe's scorching summer to this year's El Niño, experts have reiterated that climate change is the main culprit./Euronews
