In the original version of the article, there is a diagonal line in Figs. 2 and 8. The correct Fig. 2 and Fig. 8 is given below,

a Composite spatial pattern of temperature anomalies \(T_{ano}\) (shading) and the heat wave magnitude HWMId (contour); the green dashed box depicts the used European region of our study. b The corresponding composites of the 200 hPa streamfunction anomaly; contour interval is \(1 \times 10^6\,\,\mathrm{{m}}^2\,\mathrm{{s}}^{-1}\). Probability density functions of daily Europe \(T_{ano}\) versus NAO c, NINO3.4 d and IOD e index for JJA (blue) and the heat wave events stated in Table 1 (red)

Same as Fig. 7b, but now the transient vorticity flux is decomposed into different nonlinear interaction parts stemming from different frequency ranges: a \(-\nabla \cdot \overline{({\mathbf {v}}_L^\prime \zeta _L^\prime )}\), b \(-\nabla \cdot \overline{({\mathbf {v}}_L^\prime \zeta _H^\prime )}\), c \(-\nabla \cdot \overline{({\mathbf {v}}_H^\prime \zeta _L^\prime )}\), and d \(-\nabla \cdot \overline{({\mathbf {v}}_H^\prime \zeta _H^\prime )}\)

The original article has been corrected.
