The seasonal 2003 summer temperature for central Europe was beyond the historical distribution range and could bear a closer resemblance with climate change scenarios for late XXI century. Nevertheless, it was the heatwave that occurred between the 1st and the 15th of August 2003 that had a major impact in excessive mortality rates throughout Europe, with catastrophic amplitude in France. Here we show, on a daily basis, when and where the magnitude and spatial extent of this heatwave episode has surpassed previous historical maxima, and that this episode is associated with an equally maximum blocking pattern over western Europe. Finally we show that surface and low troposphere air temperature anomalies are particularly well associated with the increased mortality rates in France.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2005gl022410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,17]],"date-time":"2005-05-17T20:46:11Z","timestamp":1116362771000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":208,"title":["How exceptional was the early August 2003 heatwave in France?"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Ricardo Machado","family":"Trigo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Geof\u00edsica da Universidade de Lisboa (CGUL), Departamento de F\u00edsica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias Universidade de Lisboa  Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"Departamento de Engenharias Universidade Lus\u00f3fona  Lisbon Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento F\u00edsica de la Tierra II, Facultad de F\u00edsicas Universidad Complutense de Madrid  Madrid Spain"}]},{"given":"Julio","family":"D\u00edaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Universitario de Salud P\u00fablica Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid  Madrid Spain"}]},{"given":"Isabel Franco","family":"Trigo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Geof\u00edsica da Universidade de Lisboa (CGUL), Departamento de F\u00edsica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias Universidade de Lisboa  Lisbon Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Meteorologia  Lisbon Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Ant\u00f3nia","family":"Valente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Geof\u00edsica da Universidade de Lisboa (CGUL), Departamento de F\u00edsica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias Universidade de Lisboa  Lisbon Portugal"}]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gloplacha.2004.06.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00484-002-0129-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1256\/wea.73.04"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5194\/angeo-23-239-2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"30","article-title":"Record breaking warm sea surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea","volume":"98","author":"Grazzini F.","year":"2003","journal-title":"ECMWF Newsl."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)14555-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","unstructured":"Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS)(2003) Impact sanitaire de la vague de chaleur en France survenue en ao\u00fbt 2003 rapport d'\u00e9tape Saint Maurice 29 Aug.
