The reference is the median of the 36 cities published here, not a European average. Eurostat's EU aggregates are not collected yet, and deriving one from these cities would invent a figure no source publishes.

Ordered lowest to highest

This measure states no direction, because readers of this site want opposite things from it. The order is lowest to highest and nothing here says which end is better — that is yours to decide.

Every value is published at the same geographic level: Point. Period 1991-2020. Confidence confidence grade B throughout.

Each bar grows from the median towards the side its value falls on. The two halves are scaled independently, so the lowest and highest values reach their ends even when the spread is uneven: a bar's length is comparable with others on the same side of the median, not across it.

How this measure is built

Definition
Mean number of days per year with a maximum air temperature above 30 degrees Celsius, over the stated climate normal period.
Calculation
count of local days whose hourly maximum 2 m temperature exceeds 30 C, averaged across the 30 complete years in 1991-2020
Position
The median, the gap and the rank are arithmetic over the values in this table and can be recomputed from it. They are not a score, carry no weighting, and combine with nothing else on the site.Read the method
