1) A new study finds that warmer temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean are linked to wetter summers in Northern Europe. 2) The study examined periods from 1931-1960, 1961-1990, and 1990 to present where the Atlantic Ocean experienced warm and cool cycles roughly every few decades. 3) When the Atlantic is warmer, it favors milder springs, summers, and autumns for England and Europe, but also brings more rain to northern and central Europe during the summer.
