Europe's 'Most Severe' Heatwave: How Attribution Science Pins the Blame on Climate Change
A rapid scientific study released in late June 2026 has concluded that human-caused climate change is "unequivocally to blame" for the record-shattering heatwave gripping large parts of Europe — the continent's most severe June heat ever recorded. The study uses a fast-growing field called attribution science to prove the link. This article explains what the study found, how attribution science establishes the climate change fingerprint on a single weather event, why this matters for policy, the meteorology of heatwaves and heat domes, and what it all means for India's own heatwave crisis.

The issue is important for UPSC because it connects climate science, Paris Agreement targets, carbon budgets, energy transition, India’s NDCs, climate justice and disaster-risk planning.
