Europe Scorched by Record Heatwave as Governments Issue Emergency Alerts
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A severe heatwave is gripping Europe, driving temperatures to historic highs and triggering emergency measures across the continent. Governments from Western to Southeastern Europe are responding to escalating risks of heat-related illness, wildfires, and infrastructure strain.

In France, 84 of 96 regions, referred to as departments, are under orange alert, the second-highest warning level. Climate Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher described the widespread alerts as “unprecedented,” as temperatures in some regions have exceeded 40°C. Over 200 schools have closed or scaled back operations due to the extreme heat.

Spain reported one of the highest temperatures so far, with El Granado in Andalucía hitting 46°C, possibly breaking the national June record. Portugal’s town of Mora registered an even higher 46.6°C. Lisbon and six other districts remain under red alert.

Italy placed 21 major cities, including Rome, Milan, and Venice, on its highest heat warning. Hospitals have noted a 10% rise in heat stroke cases. In Rome’s outskirts, temperatures reached nearly 40°C.

The UK is undergoing its second official heatwave of the year. Forecasts predict temperatures reaching 34°C in parts of England, with the Met Office warning of tropical nights that offer minimal cooling relief.

Wildfires have erupted in the Balkans, destroying homes near Athens and burning land in Croatia and Turkey. Temperatures in Sarajevo and Skopje broke records, while Germany faces 38°C forecasts and logistical challenges due to falling water levels on the Rhine River.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warned that the intensifying heatwave poses a threat to fundamental human rights and underscores the urgent need for climate adaptation and a global shift away from fossil fuels.
