Europe’s Deadly Heatwave Rises

France reels as 40 drownings linked to deadly heatwave since Thursday, with over half the country under red alert — a crisis echoing across Europe as Spain braces for 40C+ temperatures and Italy issues red alerts in 15 cities. Experts warn early-summer heatwaves are becoming the norm in Spain, while France’s nuclear plants face shutdowns due to overheated river water. Tragic drownings, including a 13-year-old girl and two children in a car, underscore the danger — especially in unsupervised waters. Germany reports fatal swimming mishaps as men overestimate their abilities. Italy reinstates emergency protections for outdoor workers, allowing shutdowns during peak heat with financial support. This relentless heatwave is a stark warning of climate change’s escalating grip on Europe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
