US EditionEurope Bakes in Summer's First Heatwave as Continent Warms
- Southern Europe and parts of the UK faced a major heatwave starting Saturday with temperatures soaring above 40C in Spain and Greece and alerts issued across Europe.
- This heatwave follows a series of record-breaking temperatures driven by climate change, with warnings escalating to amber and red alerts in several countries including Italy and the UK.
- Authorities responded by banning outdoor work in Italy and Greece during peak heat hours, activating heat plans in cities like Barcelona, and opening free public pools in Marseille, while wildfire outbreaks forced evacuations near Athens.
- The UK Health Security Agency issued a second amber heat alert this month covering five regions, and meteorologists expect temperatures as high as 35C, with the alert lasting until 6pm Tuesday as temperatures start dipping on the weekend.
- These conditions highlight the increased frequency and intensity of European heatwaves due to climate change, increasing risks to public health, infrastructure, and wildfire hazards across the continent.
