## Resource

Europe is baking under record-breaking May heatwaves, with London and Paris hitting 35°C and 33°C respectively — temperatures normally reserved for late summer. A dangerous heat dome, fueled by climate change, is trapping scorching air across the continent, from Spain’s 38°C Seville to Rome’s 32°C highs. The human toll is mounting: drownings, heat-related deaths, and strain on emergency services as lifeguards and cooling infrastructure lag behind. Commuters battle sweltering trains, firefighters tackle grass fires, and health warnings go out for vulnerable populations — all as Europe braces for a hotter, more unpredictable future.
