Here’s an awkward truth: climate change is affecting travellers, but it’s also caused, in part, by travellers.

It should be pretty nice in the south of Spain in early October. This is the bottom edge of Europe, about as far south as the continent goes, so you can usually rely on warm weather persisting even as so many northern Europeans begin pulling out their winter clothes.Jerez: Really, really hot right now.As I write this, at almost 6pm at the end of the first week of October, it’s 33 degrees.

These temperatures shouldn’t be much of a surprise, given the summer Europe had this year – the hottest ever recorded. The continent was blasted with heatwaves throughout June, July and August, with record high temperatures in multiple countries. This is climate change of course, changing weather patterns around the world, higher and lower extremes, more catastrophic events, and higher average temperatures.Have these changes altered the way you travel, the choices you make, the places you visit and the times you choose to do it? Because they should. And if you’re not taking these changes into account now, you’re doing it wrong.Consider southern Europe, for example. It used to be a given that you would want to be here for summer.

There will probably be some freakishly great snow seasons at resorts around the world in coming years. But there are likely to be far more disastrous seasons, where a beer on the terrace will be a lot more inviting than a grass-covered mountain.Travel insurance can’t help you with dud snowfall, but still, I would be looking carefully at the policies you book now to see what’s covered.
