## Resource

France reels from a deadly heatwave as temperatures soar past records, claiming at least 18 lives including two children trapped in a hot car, while schools adjust and drownings spike amid extreme conditions. Spain suffers similarly, driven by a stubborn “Omega block” pattern funneling North African heat — a crisis amplified by climate change. Across Europe, from Bordeaux’s 107.4°F to Britain’s forecasted 102.2°F, heat is breaking records and straining communities, with people scrambling for water and wildlife fleeing unbearable urban heat. The human and animal toll underscores an urgent call to confront the escalating climate emergency. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
