Summary
Europe’s June just got scorching — record-breaking heat shattered daily highs across the UK, Germany, and beyond, with some areas hitting 41.7°C and “tropical nights” trapping heat all night. France’s nuclear plants even shut down due to the extreme temps. Meanwhile, north-western China is facing even fiercer conditions, with temperatures soaring to 47°C, roads threatening to melt, and railways slowing down. Authorities are warning of heatstroke risks and wildfires as climate change turns extreme weather into the new normal — impacting lives, infrastructure, and the most vulnerable.
