Europe is the fastest-warming continent on the planet.
Research by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change service has found temperatures are rising at roughly twice the global average.
They're now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
2023 had a record number of days with "extreme heat stress" across the continent.
It also saw 7% more rain, along with more flooding, droughts and wildfires.
The report shows heat-related deaths in Europe have soared by 30% in the last 20 years, and caused billions of euro in economic losses.

Concern over climate change is also growing, with over half of people more worried now than two years ago.
Friends of the Earth commissioned the Ireland Thinks research to coincide with Earth Day today.
It reveals 47% of us don't think we're doing enough to tackle the problem.
CEO Oisín Coghlan reckons people are more concerned now that they're experiencing climate change first hand;
"I think it's just actually seeing climate impact not just on far-away news bulletins about Africa or the polar regions, but here in Ireland.
"The flooding in Midleton, the winter we had, the more intense rainfall, the more intense storms.
"So I think people are seeing climate change happening in Ireland."
Climate change is also set to be a major consideration for people voting in the upcoming European elections in June.
The survey ranks it as the third most influential factor for voters this year, and the fifth biggest problem facing the country.
