In 2023, meteorologists recorded the warmest September in the Alps since weather records began, reported dpa.
This was reported by the German Weather Service (DWD), GeoSphere Austria and MeteoSwiss in the current issue of their joint publication series Bulletin Alpine Climate.
At the beginning of August, record precipitation fell in southern Austria and the neighbouring Alpine regions of Italy and Slovenia, leading to severe flooding.
There were also several daily and monthly temperature records beginning in July 2023, the scientists report.
After an initial heatwave in July, another one followed at the end of August with new record temperatures. For example, temperatures hit 37.6 degrees Celsius in Sion, Switzerland.
