The impact of the error varies greatly from region to region - the effects are particularly clear in the North Atlantic: In June, for example, the frequency of hot days was underestimated by more than 75 per cent, resulting in only a quarter of the actual extremes being detected. Averaged over the year, the temperature extremes were also significantly below the expected frequency.
