Fig. 3: Extremeness of the joint temperature and precipitation conditions during summer in Europe for the period 2001–2022 and fraction of land affected by a CHD per year.
From: European hot and dry summers are projected to become more frequent and expand northwards

The bivariate exceedance probability of hot and dry summers averaged over the whole European land domain pSK is shown in grey. In red the fraction of land is presented which is experiencing a pSK below a threshold noted in the legend. The vertical black line highlights the CHD with the least pSK.
