uin	199019
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2023 answer text <p>A detailed assessment of the September heatwave has not yet been made. The heatwave occurred when a high-pressure system led to clear skies and warm air to be drawn north from continental Europe. Climate change has increased air and sea surface temperatures across the UK and Europe meaning that, while a specific attribution analysis has not yet been conducted for this heatwave, existing scientific evidence suggests that it is very likely temperatures were higher than they might otherwise have been under the same weather pattern in a world without human-induced climate change.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 19/09/2023 11:02:45 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
