Record-Breaking Heatwave in Western Europe

Western Europe experienced its warmest June-July period on record, with average temperatures reaching 21.62°C, according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The heatwave, fueled by climate change, has led to extreme wildfires across the region and disrupted shipping and power generation due to critically low water levels in major rivers like the Rhine, Danube, and Seine. The heatwave has also caused thousands of excess deaths and contributed to economic losses, with some countries like France and the Netherlands facing potential recessions. Europe is bracing for another heatwave this week, with temperatures expected to exceed 35°C in many regions.
