Extreme weather events, including deadly floods in Germany and Belgium, and wildfires in Greece, Italy and France, shook Europe in 2021. Yet such events can no longer be considered rarities, as the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events has been increasing over recent decades. Scientists have linked these increases to the human-induced global warming.
As the likelihood of extreme weather events increases, the risks are exacerbated by the events' unpredictability, making the decision-making process around adaptation more complicated than for more predictable climate impacts, such as sea level rise. Beyond wildfires and flooding events, violent storms or hurricanes and periods of drought and extreme heatwaves are Europe's main extreme weather events.
