Europe is experiencing a severe heatwave, with new June temperature records set in the U.K. and France. A World Weather Attribution analysis indicates that human-caused climate change made this extreme heat virtually impossible 50 years ago. The heatwave is expected to spread across Western, Central, and Southern Europe, with Spain reporting at least 212 heat-related deaths and France experiencing drowning deaths linked to unsupervised swimming.
