Prolonged Siberian heat almost impossible without climate change

The recent prolonged Siberia heat from January to June 2020 would have been almost impossible without the influence of human-​caused climate change. This conclusion was reached by an international team of researchers in cooperation with the Russian P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology and various European weather services. Sonia Seneviratne, Mathias Hauser and Flavio Lehner from ETH Zurich were involved in the study.
