🌍🔥 Europe is experiencing one of its most intense heatwaves in recent history. Temperatures have crossed 40–45°C in parts of Spain, France, Italy and Central Europe, triggering wildfires, droughts, water shortages and major disruptions to daily life.
But what’s driving this extreme heat? A combination of persistent high-pressure systems (heat domes), jet stream patterns, dry soils and human-induced climate change is making heatwaves more frequent, longer and more intense.
As our planet warms, extreme weather is becoming the new normal. Understanding the geography behind these events is the first step toward building a more resilient future.
