Fig. 1: State of the climate in summer 2024.

a Ranking of 2024 (i.e., the mean from June to August) daily minimum temperature; b the daily minimum temperature anomaly in summer 2024; (c) as in (a) but for the mean summer temperature; (d) as in (b) but for the mean summer temperature; (e) as in (a) but for the maximum daily temperature and (f) as in (b) but for the maximum daily temperature. In (a, c, e) “1” means the warmest summer over the analyzed period (i.e., 1950–2024), and “2” means the second warmest summer. Rankings below five appear white. In (b, d, f), the anomalies are computed relatively to the climatological period 1981–2010.
