  Climate change is shortening the odds on record breaking June monthly temperature in western Europe.

  . Projections for the future  In addition, by using climate projections, the team were able to calculate that unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally, by 2100 in a medium emissions scenario (SSP2 4.5) heatwaves of the magnitude recorded in 2003 could happen every two

• Record breaking rainfall
