Study: "Heat record in Great Britain impossible without climate change"

The heat of the summer in the UK meant that the record temperature in the country was raised from 38.7 to 40 degrees.

In the study from World Weather attribution, a group of researchers from different countries have studied possible connections between the heat and climate change.

The researchers conclude that global warming has made it ten times more likely that a heat wave like last week's in England and Wales will occur.

They also state that the temperatures were 2-4 degrees higher than they would have been without the influence of climate change.

Temperature that occurs "once in 500 years"

To carry out the study, the researchers compared temperatures in England and Wales with what the weather looked like historically and used climate models to simulate a world before warming.

According to the analysis, heat waves in Europe have become more common in recent years.

But according to the researchers, the heat in Great Britain was unusual even by today's climate standards.

As hot as it was at three weather stations in London, it's once in 500 years, according to their calculations.

The analysis of the effects of the heat wave is not yet complete.

But according to the researchers, there are forecasts that 840 more people died than would have happened without the heat.
