Western Europe experienced its worst summer heat on record
A new report found that western Europe experienced its hottest summer ever, with over half the continent enduring "very strong" heat stress above 38C. Surface air temperatures from June to August were 2.5C higher than the recent average, leading to tens of thousands of deaths. The intense heat also ruined harvests and caused rivers to have their lowest summer flows in over 30 years.
