–1900) by around 1 °C. The influences of anthropogenic greenhouse gas release and aerosols explain much of this increase but natural variations in climate, such as the influence of El Niño, mean that the observed temperature rise isn’t even from year to year. Although global temperatures remained

A combination of atmospheric dynamics, regional weather patterns and the influence of climate change have all played a role. A more energised jet stream At the heart of this winter’s story
