Ein Kollaps der warmen Meeresströmung im Atlantik (#AMOC) hatte extreme Auswirkungen auf Europa. Neuere Simulationen zeigen, dass dies auch unter hohen CO2-Werten (RCP4.5) der Fall wäre. Die Frage ob und wann es zu einem Kollaps kommt, ist noch umstritten.

The heatwave in Sodankylä has now lasted for 26 days.
This is probably not only the longest heatwave in Lapland, but also the longest heatwave ever observed in Finland.
Note that here a heatwave is defined with 3 consecutive days above 90th percentile, which is scientifically robust definition.
