Climate change made Ireland's July drought eight times more likely

Original: # Ireland Ireland's record July drought made 8 times more likely by climate-fueled evaporation, study finds Exceptionall

A new study finds that climate change made Ireland's record July drought eight times more likely, driven by increased evaporation from higher temperatures. Exceptionally warm nighttime lows are now more than 1,000 times as likely due to climate change. The findings add to growing evidence of human-caused warming intensifying extreme weather across Europe, where several countries have faced drought conditions this summer.

Why now: People are reacting to new attribution research quantifying how climate change worsened Ireland's recent drought
