The extreme summer weather that scorched and soaked the world

Heat. Wildfires. Torrential rain. Typhoons and hurricanes. Much of the
northern hemisphere has been battered by extreme weather this summer. Not
all these events can be immediately linked to climate change. It can take a
while for scientists to untangle what exactly is going on – plus, the
planet’s natural weather and climate systems are powerful and also affect
the weather.

But in the past few weeks, significant meteorological records
have been broken in quick succession, to the concern of climate change
experts. As the summer draws to a close, let’s look back at what on earth
happened – and how it is connected to climate change.
