Why is Europe so hot?
Southern Europe and the Mediterranean are experiencing unusually high temperatures for September, with some areas expecting 40C. This is due to the 'heat dome' effect, which is trapping warm air over the region. This kind of extreme weather can worsen conditions like wildfires, especially in already dry areas like Spain and the Balkans.
