Relief Coming for Europe After Brutal Heatwave
- Europe experienced a brutal heatwave in late June and early July 2025, with temperatures reaching 40°C in Paris and Frankfurt on June 30 and July 2, respectively.
- The heatwave followed a pattern of record-setting temperatures since 1947, including a Mediterranean Sea June record and unusual warming of Mont Blanc above freezing on June 30.
- The extreme heat caused at least nine deaths, including a 2.5-year-old boy left in a car in Spain, and forced closures of 2,200 French schools on June 30, with ongoing health risks and widespread emergency calls.
- Relief started arriving from the Atlantic on July 2, with forecasts of thunderstorms and cooler temperatures expected to lower highs to 27°C in Frankfurt and 28°C in Paris by July 3 or 4.
- Authorities and organizations emphasized that extreme heat is a ‘silent killer’ becoming more frequent due to human-driven climate change, prompting new workplace safety protocols and efforts to protect vulnerable populations.
