How does the increase in tropical nights in Europe relate to global climate change trends and regional variations in temperature increase?

The rising number of tropical nights across Europe is directly linked to a rate of temperature increase more than double the global average over the past 30 years. Regions like Spain also saw unusually high numbers of tropical nights in June 2025, exceeding averages by up to 18 nights. This trend is exacerbated by marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean, resulting in additional tropical nights in coastal areas.
