Netherlands Heatwave Breaks Records

Tomorrow night could shatter the Netherlands’ hottest-ever record, with De Bilt hitting 24 degrees — smashing the old mark set in 2018. The entire country is under extreme heat alerts, with temperatures soaring to 33-37 degrees during the day and stubbornly staying above 22 degrees at night, even in the north. This isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s dangerous, especially for kids and seniors, prompting hospitals to brace and the national heat plan to activate. Dry conditions also raise wildfire risks, while the heatwave may become the longest and strongest ever recorded, lasting until Saturday with temps possibly hitting 38 degrees. Schools are cutting days, trains are running lighter, and everyone’s being urged to stay cool and look out for each other. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
