Excess Heat
Cooling Degree Days
Description: These maps show excess heat (measured in cooling degree days [“CDD”], a Eurostat statistical concept that approximates the need for cooling) across the EU27 and neighbouring countries.
Analysis & Metadata
Analysis:
On average, excess heat increased by 0.2% per year across the EU27 in the last ten years (of available data).Projection:
If the next decade is like the previous one, excess heat will be around 129 Cooling Degree Days by 2030 across the EU27. Data timeline: 1980 – 2020
