The World Meteorological Organization released a statement on the 30th confirming that a place in Sicily, Italy set a record for the highest temperature on the European continent at 48.8 degrees Celsius. The temperature data was recorded on August 11, 2021. According to the bulletin, the automatic weather station in Syracuse, Sicily, Italy recorded this temperature data, which has been verified by relevant expert groups. Previously, the highest temperature record on the European continent was set at 48.0 degrees Celsius by the Greek cities of Athens and Elefsina on July 10, 1977. This data comes from official government information and was included by the World Meteorological Organization when it established the Extreme Weather and Climate Archive in 2007, but has not been independently verified by it. The extreme weather and climate reporter of the World Meteorological Organization, Randall Cherveny, said that Europe may experience more extreme weather in the future, and the survey also shows that specific regions around the world are continuing to set records for high temperatures. Many assessment results from the World Meteorological Organization are not only published in peer-reviewed journals, but also included on the official website of the Extreme Weather and Climate Archive, which includes extreme weather events such as global highest and lowest temperatures, heaviest hail, longest drought periods, and related death records.
