Europe is sweating through a historic summer, with two back-to-back heatwaves turning Western Europe into a real-life 'Don’t Look Up' scenario. Schools are closing, wildfires are raging, and health alerts are flashing red across the continent. 🚨
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts dropped a 🔥 hot take this week: over two-thirds of Europe’s extreme heat events since 1950 have occurred since 2000. Climate scientists are side-eyeing this trend harder than a TikTok drama.
What’s Cooking?
Authorities are scrambling like baristas during a coffee rush hour. Emergency measures include:
Activating urban cooling centers (think AC oases in concrete jungles)
Restricting outdoor work during peak heat
Deploying extra medical staff – basically heatwave superheroes 🦸♂️
Pro tip for travelers: That dreamy Mediterranean vacation might need a rain check (or rather, a shade check). ☀️⛱️
