Up to 130 million Europeans face temperatures of 35°C (95°F) on Monday, according to a report. The current heat wave has already caused hundreds of deaths across the continent in recent weeks.
A new alert from the Insider Paper reports that up to 130 million people across Europe will face temperatures of 35°C on Monday as a severe heat wave stretches into another week. The development comes after weeks of extreme temperatures that have already led to hundreds of deaths and a series of record-breaking heat days across the continent—from France's all-time high of 44.3°C to Paris’s hottest June day. As The Zioneer has reported, French health authorities attributed approximately 1,000 deaths to the heat wave, and the WHO recorded over 1,300 excess deaths across Europe since June 21. The new alert underscores the persistence and geographic breadth of the heat event, which is impacting areas previously less affected, including parts of the UK that received rare highest-level heat warnings last week. No further specifics on which European countries are most at risk on Monday were provided in the initial report.
