Europe’s Deadly Heatwave Intensifies | Dublin News

Europe is facing a deadly second wave of extreme heat as temperatures soar across western nations, with France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and parts of Britain once again under threat. The heat dome has shifted east, baking cities like Budapest, Belgrade, and Bucharest into record-breaking swelter, even pushing Slovakia to a new national high. Over 1,000 excess deaths have been confirmed in France, with elderly populations hardest hit and funeral homes overwhelmed. Authorities have issued red alerts and opened cooling centers as scientists confirm climate change is making such heatwaves far more frequent and intense—now 100 times more likely than just two decades ago. Tragically, the toll continues to rise, with young boys dying in hot cars in Cyprus and cyclists succumbing to heat in Poland, as the scorching conditions persist across central and eastern Europe.
