In Europe this summer, air temperatures were significantly above normal, putting a strain on energy grids, water resources, and human health. The trend of rising temperatures, which some attribute to climate change, is not weakening in July.
According to the UK Met Office, temperatures in some parts of the country could exceed 30°C for many consecutive days over the next ten days. "Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are expected to experience severe heat," said meteorologist Honor Criswick, adding that London and the southwest of England will also be affected by the heat.
According to Atmospheric G2, temperatures above 30°C are also expected in Paris, caused by the same high-pressure system. More extreme weather conditions are expected in southern Spain, where temperatures in Cordoba could exceed 40°C early next week.
