While yes, a 14c deviation from average temperatures is fucking insane, so is this map. The scale is cooked.
It means that statistically, of the climate was constant, the temperatures we have now would be as probable as having 6°C.
What’s it measuring against average temperature for this time of year because Europe does get hot at this time of year we know that. It’s also not as bad as the heat wave we had 6 weeks ago. Not too underestimate our awful the weather currently is.
I assume it’s comparing against the average temperatures for June 21-26 as that would align with what my weather app says, which compares with the average temperatures since 1970
