Netherlands Sweats Through Historic Heatwave

The Netherlands just shattered its own heat records — June’s warmest night ever, with temperatures barely dipping below 22.4°C, and daytime highs predicted to soar to 36°C in the south, possibly hitting 40°C in Limburg. KNMI warns even hotter nights ahead, with some areas nearing all-time highs. A code orange alert covers most of the country, code red in parts of Belgium, forcing schools to shorten hours, festivals to limit attendance, and major events like athletics championships and a cheese market to cancel. Wildfire risk is at its second-highest level. Authorities urge caution as relief may come only with cooler air and thunderstorms over the weekend.
