From June to August 2022, persistent heatwaves affected parts of Europe, causing evacuations and killing tens of thousands. These heat waves were the deadliest meteorological events in 2022. The highest temperature recorded was in Pinhão, Portugal, on 14 July.[3]

In June 2022, temperatures of were recorded in parts of Europe, with most severe temperature anomalies in France, where several records were broken.[4] [5]

A second more severe heatwave occurred in mid-July, extending north to the United Kingdom where temperatures surpassing were recorded for the first time.[6] The heatwaves were part of climate change in Europe.[7] [8] [9]

A third heatwave began in August with parts of France and Spain expected to reach temperatures as high as . A prolonged hot period also hit the United Kingdom.[10]

Although temperatures in most places in Europe subsided in August, a smaller heatwave impacted France on 12 September, with temperatures reaching .[11]

As a result of the heatwaves, widespread droughts occurred across the continent.[12]

Eurostat reported that the European Union saw 53,000 excess deaths in July, some of which may have occurred because of the heat wave. The excess death rate was several times higher than in July 2020 or July 2021, a statistic notable due to the COVID-19 pandemic having taken place in Europe during those years. The worst increases were seen in Spain and Cyprus.[13]

Meteorology

The June heatwave was the result of an interaction among the high pressures that generate atmospheric stability; Tropical Storm Alex; the strong sunshine of the boreal summer; and an air mass emanating from North Africa that had entered the Iberian Peninsula loaded with suspended dust that caused haze in the centre and south of the peninsula.[14] [15]

Climatologists linked the extreme heat to the impact of climate change, and experts predict that changes in the jet stream as a result of climate change will cause heatwaves with increasing frequency in Europe.[16] [17] Furthermore, due to the jet stream, the increase in heatwaves for European countries is three-to-four times higher than other countries in northern mid-latitudes, such as the United States.[18] [19]

Reports of the death toll varied significantly. In July 2023, researchers from Barcelona Institute for Global Health estimated 61,672 heat-induced problems between 30 May and 4 September in a finding published in Nature Medical.[31] [32] The study gathered data from 35 countries with a combined population of 543 million people. A statistical framework was paired against historical meteorological records to observe the trend of deaths. The researchers said that they used weekly mortality data to develop their model which may not allow for short-term changes and hence may underestimate the actual number of deaths. Countries around the Mediterranean Sea, especially Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece, experienced higher death rates.[33] In November 2022, Reuters stated that there were 20,000 "excess" deaths recorded; deaths which officials did not directly attribute to heat but may be heat-induced.[34] In November 2023, the Barcelona Institute for Global Health revised their number to over 70,000 "excess" deaths after developing a new method to calculate the mortality rate. The new research utilised daily temperature and mortality data as opposed to the previous research method using weekly data. The researchers claimed the previous figure underestimated the true number by 10.28 percent.[35]

On 24 July the temperature reached in Bucharest and Craiova.[127] [128]

Slovenia

Summer heat waves

On 28 June, the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) recorded a temperature of in Podnanos. It surpassed Slovenia's previous record June temperature of, which was recorded in Metlika in 2000.[129]

On 4 July, the ARSO reported that temperatures reached in Bilje.[130] At the agency's stations in Podnanos and Volče near Tolmin, temperatures reached on 4 July and on 22 July, respectively.[131] On 23 July, temperatures of or higher were recorded at several stations in the ARSO network, reaching at Cerklje ob Krki Airport and in Dobliče, with the latter remaining the highest temperature that was officially recorded in Slovenia during the month, meaning that the country's record July temperature of, which was recorded in 1950 in the nearby town of Črnomelj, was not surpassed.[132] [133]

In mid-July, the ARSO reported the status of droughts as significant or severe for most of western and central Slovenia.[134] By the end of the month, agriculture was affected by droughts in the entire country, although they were especially severe in its south-west.[135]

Along with periods of wind, long-lasting and severe droughts were mentioned as one of the key factors that facilitated the spread of the wildfires that broke out in the Karst Plateau around the southern part of the Italy–Slovenia border on 17 July and became the most extensive spread of wildfires ever recorded in Slovenia three days later, when it was reported that an estimated of land were burnt.[136] [137] By 25 July, the spread of the wildfires in the Karst Plateau was largely stopped, but minor fires were still appearing in the affected areas. It was initially estimated that of land were burnt and the estimate was updated to on 1 August, following a few minor spreads that were quickly stopped.[138] [139]

On 5 August, temperatures exceeding were recorded at five stations in the ARSO network, reaching in Dobliče, Litija and the Bežigrad District of Ljubljana, and in Celje and at Cerklje ob Krki Airport.[140] On 18 August, temperatures of or higher were expected in many parts of Slovenia.[141]

On 1 September, the ARSO reported that temperatures of or higher were recorded in Bilje on a total of 80 days, which surpassed the location's previous record of 76 days and a national record of 77 days in Podnanos, both of which were recorded in 2003.[142]

Autumn heat waves

On 14 September, temperatures of up to were expected.[143] The night between 14 and 15 September was unusually hot in many parts of Slovenia. The ARSO reported that temperatures did not fall below at several stations in their network, with the one at Portorož Airport not recording temperatures lower than during the night.[144]

On 1 November, temperatures exceeded at several stations in the ARSO network, reaching in Dobliče and exceeding the location's previous record November temperature of . New records were set at several other stations in the ARSO network and Slovenia's previous record November temperature of, which was recorded in Metlika in 2015, was surpassed at four of the agency's stations.[145] [146]

Spain

June heatwave

A special heat warning was activated by the AEMET on 10 June, but only for 12 provinces and with yellow alerts in Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura and Madrid, with an orange alert for Andalusia.[147] In this first stage, the unusual heat did not affect the Canary Islands, Galicia, the western Cantabrian coast and points of the peninsular Mediterranean coast.[148] Initially, the AEMET predicted that the heatwave would last until 15 June, although it speculated that the heat might continue for the rest of the week.

On 11 June, high temperatures were recorded in the south-west of the peninsula, with in Seville. The alerts also remained activated for Aragon, Castile and León, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia and Madrid at a yellow level, and at an orange level for Extremadura and Andalusia.[149] However, the weather conditions did not meet the official criteria to start the heatwave.[150]

On 12 June, temperatures reached in Almadén (Ciudad Real), the highest value on the official start day of the heatwave. Temperatures above were also recorded at 47 stations in the AEMET network. The agency issued special notice number 3/2022 with information about the phenomenon and initiated a national plan of preventive actions with a level-assignment map.

On 14 June, the heatwave spread to the south of Galicia and the interior of the Cantabrian Sea. Tropical nights also continued, with temperatures that did not fall below in many provinces; in Jaén, a minimum of was expected. It was predicted that the peak of the heatwave would be reached on Friday, 17 June, with the possibility of record-breaking temperatures in Zaragoza, Lleida and Córdoba.[151]

The only points in Spain that were not affected are Asturias, the Canary Islands and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.[152] In its daily statement, AEMET predicted the end of the weather episode for 18 June, with hot African air causing instability and a drop in temperatures.[153]

Rubén del Campo of AEMET stated that it was the "most intense heatwave for mid-June of, at least, the last 20 years."

The first day of application of the "Iberian exception", by which the regulated price of electricity is calculated with a cap on gas for its generation, was 15 June. The PVPC is the voluntary price for the small consumer, for which more will be paid for electricity for compensation to thermal power plants and the greater use of gas and coal in the midst of a heatwave.[154]

The last day of the Spanish heatwave was 18 June, an event termed "intense, extensive and extraordinary" according to AEMET, which determined that the springtime heatwave was among the earliest in the year since Spain began keeping records.[155]

Estimates from the Carlos III Health Institute placed the total June death toll at 830.[156]

July heatwave

In July, Extremadura experienced wildfires that spread to Salamanca in Castile and León and burnt more than .

On 14 July, the Carlos III Health Institute announced that at least 43 people had died on 10 and 11 July from the heat.[157] On 16 July, at least 360 people died between 10 July and 15 July from the heat.[158]

On 17 July, a wildfire began in El Pont de Vilomara, Catalonia, which burnt 30 houses and more than of land.[159]

On 18 July, the Carlos III Health Institute reported an additional 150 heat-related deaths on 16 July, bringing the total death toll to 510,[160] which was raised to 679 the next day.[161] Final estimates from the Carlos III Health Institute placed the total July death toll at 2,063. However, in a report published later in the year, the July death toll was placed at 2,223.

On 24 July, the Seville city council gave the ongoing heat wave the name Zoe, thereby making it the first named heat wave in the world.[162]

During July, Córdoba had a average high of, with 19 days above, making it the highest average maximum temperature ever recorded in Europe for the month of July.[163]

The drought at the Valdecañas reservoir revealed the Dolmen of Guadalperal, a prehistoric stone circle.[164]

August heatwave

Parts of Spain are expected to reach temperatures as high as .

In a report published later in the year, the August death toll was placed at 1,602.

Sweden

During the summer of 2022, Sweden experienced three heatwaves in late June, July, and mid August.[165]

Switzerland

On 15 June, a heat-wave alert was activated in the canton of Ticino.[167] The following day, the cantons of Geneva and Vaud issued alerts.[168]

On the 16 June, the Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss) reported that temperatures of had been measured in the southern Alps, central Valais and the Lake Geneva region, but had only exceeded the threshold to be considered a heatwave (average temperature of throughout the day) at the local level.[169]

On 17 June, MeteoSwiss activated orange and yellow alerts for heatwaves in most of the country. Maximum temperatures of were expected between 17 June and 21 June in low-lying areas of Valais and Romande Switzerland, and between 18 June and 21 June in the Basel region.

On 4 August, a temperature of was recorded in Geneva, the highest in the city all year.[170]
