Europe is ablaze

Meteorologically, Europe is a middling sort of place. Hurricanes, monsoons and sandstorms p*** it by. But in one increasingly alarming way, Europe stands out. It is warming faster than other continents. Since the mid-1990s its average temperatures have risen by 0.53°C per decade, which is more than double the global land average of 0.26°C. This summer the effects have been dramatically apparent.
