This agrees with  findings for the entire Northern Hemisphere. European winter average  temperatures during the period 1500 to 1900 were reduced by 0.5&amp;deg;C  (0.25&amp;deg;C for annual mean temperatures) compared to the 20th century.  Summer temperatures did not experience systematic century-scale cooling  relative to present conditions. The coldest European winter was  1708/1709; 2003 was by far the hottest summer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1499&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1503&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
