What are the impacts?
The high temperatures in southern Europe, reaching into the high 30s and 40C, bring several risks. Wildfires are a major concern, particularly in parched regions like Spain and the Balkans, where dry conditions make it easy for fires to start and spread. It can also affect agriculture and human health.
