Temperatures soared past 41°C near Saarbrücken, with deadly consequences in France and cascading disruptions to rail, power, schools, and even triathlons.

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.
