The continent of Europe is experiencing unprecedented summer heat as climate change leads to prolonged heatwaves, drought conditions, and rampant wildfires. Data from Copernicus indicates that regions in France, the UK, and Spain observed temperatures exceeding 10C above the seasonal average during late May and June. The average temperature for Western Europe in June was recorded at 20.74C, which is 3.06C higher than the average from 1991 to 2020. Last year, the EU reported over 1 million hectares affected by fires. Experts caution that ongoing warming will put added strain on ecosystems, economies, and local communities.
