Summers will get hotter and hotter in the next few years - a natural phenomenon is to blame. A potential link exists across the ocean, as loss of sea ice and glacial ice leads to increased freshwater inflows into the North Atlantic.

The exact role of freshwater anomalies in initiating this process is unclear and requires further study. Better detection and quantification of these anomalies in climate models could help improve the long-term forecasting ability of European weather. Given the increase in freshwater. anomalies in the coming decades, it is crucial to understand their. potential drivers of future prediction models.
