developed over the Bay of Biscay to the south. Particularly warm tropical air and very cold polar air collided, forcing warm air to rise creating an area of low pressure. A big difference in temperature between the warm and cold air helped to cause a rapid ascent and a particularly low pressure system

on forests when global temperatures breach a global warming level of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: a global warming level evens out natural variation, when some years have marginally higher temperatures than others. The world is currently at a global warming level of 1.3°C, with obvious concerns
