Europe’s Hottest June on Record | Ireland News

Western Europe just shattered heat records in June and July, with temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels—June now the hottest on record for the region. The EU blames climate change for fueling these brutal heatwaves, which have triggered droughts, wildfires, and deadly health impacts. July was especially dry across France, Spain, and Ireland, with soil moisture at dangerously low levels. Oceans are also hitting record highs, linked to marine heatwaves and a looming El Niño. This isn’t an isolated event—Europe faced another severe heatwave in May, and eight of the nine warmest Junes since 2019 have occurred since 2019. Globally, June averaged 16.54°C, 1.39°C above pre-industrial levels, making it the second-warmest June ever recorded—and just barely behind this year’s own record.
