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-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, along with more rainfall than usual for Northern and Central Europe.
