European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say

Study also finds high humidity means people in hundreds of cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress

The report itself is here:

Fossil fuel emissions have rapidly worsened European heatwaves in just a few decades

Just weeks after a severe heatwave that broke all-time May records, Europe is experiencing another major heatwave that is breaking June and annual records. This is particularly remarkable given that June is not historically the hottest month in Western Europe. Across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and southern England, temperatures are reaching 5–12°C above seasonal averages, driven by a persistent high-pressure system. This pattern has transported hot air from North Africa into the region while also bringing clear skies and strong sunshine, which have further intensified the heat.

    Exterior blinds should be mandatory everywhere, as well as AC installed correctly to allow heating in the winter.

    And solar panels on everything. Everything.
