In today’s climate, Europe could be facing a summer of relentless heatwaves and severe drought, leading to deadly temperatures, water scarcity, and spikes in energy prices across the continent.

A recent study has revealed a “worst-case scenario” for heat and drought during the summer months in central and western Europe. The research, conducted by Laura Suarez-Gutierrez and her team at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, used ensemble boosting techniques to analyze seven simulations of heatwaves in climate models. By making slight adjustments to the initial atmospheric conditions in the models, they ran 1000 iterations for each simulation to explore potential outcomes.

Vikki Thompson from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, who was not part of the study, explains that these simulations generated various results, with some showing unprecedented heatwaves and droughts that surpass historical records. The most extreme scenarios predict temperatures reaching up to 45°C (113°F) persisting for over a month in certain regions of Europe, accompanied by severe drought conditions.

According to the researchers, these extreme events could surpass the intensity and duration of the 2003 and 2018 heatwaves, posing significant risks such as wildfires, water shortages, energy crises, and ecosystem disruptions. The study also highlights a concerning trend where successive heatwaves follow one another, offering little respite and potentially amplifying the impact on both humans and the environment.

Pascal Yiou from the Laboratory for Climate and Environmental Sciences in France suggests that the drying of soils due to extreme heat could contribute to the persistence of heatwaves, creating a feedback loop that exacerbates the situation. While these worst-case scenarios are not guaranteed to occur, they serve as a stark reminder of the potential risks posed by climate change.

Jana Sillmann from the Centre for International Climate Research in Norway emphasizes the importance of using such simulations to prepare emergency response plans for extreme events. By simulating the perfect conditions for unprecedented heatwaves, decision-makers can better understand and mitigate the impacts of such events.
