The 2017 European Heatwave: a long term high pressure weather event Today we are looking this event as an example of the effects a high pressure weather system can bring. You have to create a spider diagram. 1. The causes of the heatwave. You will talk about anticyclones (high pressures)and air masses. 2. The effects of the heatwave. As normal categorise this into social economic and environmental. But also look at how different groups of people were affected. 3. How people responded to the heatwave 4. Every time you mention an effect or a response, you need to locate the country it happened in on your map
