Summary
Germany’s sweltering under a record-breaking heatwave—with temps hitting 41.7°C, melting tram tracks, and forest fires threatening military zones. Seven deaths linked to swimming accidents remind us how deadly the heat can be. Meanwhile, Lena Schätte wins the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize for her powerful novel “What We Bear,” earning €30,000. Thunderstorms may bring relief Monday, but nights are still scorching, with one Saxony village barely cooling below 29°C. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
