Extremely hot summers have devastating impacts on society and ecology. Recurrent Rossby wave patterns (RRWPs) are among the atmospheric features that have been linked to extreme weather events involving persistent surface weather. In this thesis, the link between RRWPs and the occurrence of extremely hot summers in the Northern Hemisphere is investigated and quantified. To this aim the synoptic evolution of RRWP events is studied in three case studies of extremely hot summers using ERA5 and CESM data. Next, the link between RRWPs and the occurrence of extremely hot summers is quantified in present-day (1990 - 1999) and end-of-the-century (2091 - 2100) climate using a grid point-wise logistic regression model. In order to differentiate betwe...
