Balkans |  The second warmest winter in Europe

The European Union’s Copernicus tracking satellite system reported that this winter was the “second warmest of all winters on the continent” in Europe, based on the 1991-2020 reference period.

According to a written statement by Copernicus, this winter was “the second warmest period on record for Europe,” with temperatures well above average for parts of eastern and northeastern Europe.

In February 2023, average air temperatures across most of Europe were higher than the 1991-2020 reference period. Warmer-than-average conditions are found in Norway and Sweden, in regions around the Black Sea along northwest Russia, and in the Svalbard region.

The UK also experienced its “warmest fifth February since 1884”. In contrast, average temperatures in some parts of Turkey, the Iberian Peninsula and the Caucasus were cooler than the month.

The sea ice level in Antarctica has reached its lowest level in 45 years. This is recorded as 8 consecutive years where the ice sheet has melted more than the average February decrease.
