Anomaly composites of near-surface meteorological variables experienced during the top 10 European total peak demand events for (a) 2 m temperature, (b) 100 m wind speed, and (c) surface solar radiation. Contours show the mean-sea level pressure composite during the peak demand events. (d–f) as seen in (a–c) for European total peak demand-net-renewables events.
