Unusual autumn heat across Europe fuels theories about migrant adaptation

Unusually high temperatures across Europe are sparking debate over whether they are part of a plan to make it easier for migrants to adapt. We look at the data.

Current temperatures in several European cities are significantly higher than usual for the time of year, fuelling theories about their origin.

## Anomalous temperatures in Europe

This year, cities such as **Berlin** reached **22 degrees** and **London** **23 degrees** on dates when people traditionally start wrapping up warm. Even in **Oslo**, temperatures hovered around **15-19 degrees**, unusual heat for the Norwegian capital. These readings contrast with the cooler weather expected in regions such as **Asturias** or **Galicia**. The persistence of these high temperatures in mid-autumn has drastically reduced the need for warm clothing compared with previous years, when it was common to go from a coat to short sleeves within a matter of weeks.

## Climate adjustment and migration

The debate centres on whether these climate changes trinc a natural pattern or whether external factors are influencing the warming. Some theories suggest these conditions could be designed to make it easier for migrant populations to adapt to European climates, which used to be more challenging. The perception is that the need for supplements such as zinc pills for lack of sunlight, mentioned years ago for people arriving from regions with high solar radiation, has decreased.
