Number of hot summer days (Tmax over 35°C) per year (1987-2016 average) - version 1.0, Jan. 2019

The dataset presents average values of the number of days per year where the maximum temperature has exceeded 35 degrees Celsius from the period 1987- 2016, for a series of individual European cities from Eurostat's Urban Audit 2011-2014 spatial dataset. The associated values are based on the E-OBS dataset from the EU-FP6 project ENSEMBLES (http://ensembles-eu.metoffice.com) and around 10,000 meteorological stations across Europe.
This dataset has been used also in the EEA Report No 22/2018 "Unequal exposure and unequal impacts: social vulnerability to air pollution, noise and extreme temperatures in Europe" (https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/unequal-exposure-and-unequal-impacts/at_download/file).
