What is the significance of the Netherlands' 2024 average temperature matching the 2023 record high?

In 2024, the average temperature in the Netherlands matched the record high of 11.8 degrees Celsius set in 2023, making both years the warmest since record-keeping began in 1901. This is notable despite a cooler-than-average summer, indicating a broader warming trend. The Netherlands' warming trend is faster than the global average, likely due to its landmass.

How did the 2024 extreme weather events differ in their impact based on preparedness and vulnerability of affected populations?

WWA's analysis reveals a clear link between climate change and the severity of extreme weather in 2024. Heatwaves intensified, with some reaching temperatures impossible without climate change; floods, largely due to extreme rainfall, were exacerbated; and droughts became more frequent and severe, impacting regions across all continents. These events demonstrate a dangerous new era of climate change impacts.
