## Resource

Germany’s sweltering under a brutal heatwave that’s shattered records, forced event cancellations, and strained infrastructure across Western Europe. Temperatures soared past 41°C near Saarbrücken, with deadly consequences in France and cascading disruptions to rail, power, schools, and even triathlons. As the heat pushes east toward Poland, roads buckle, tracks warp, and Germany’s rail service offers free cancellations—fearing damage from sun and storms. Meteorologists warn peak heat this weekend, with thunderstorms looming, all trapped by a weather pattern called an Omega block. Scientists link this extreme heat to climate change, making such events far more likely—and far more dangerous—than just two decades ago.
