Europe’s record-shattering heatwave surged east on Saturday, with Germany recording its highest-ever temperature of 41.3°C near Saarbrücken as the system pushed toward Poland, where authorities warned of 40°C peaks. The German Weather Service confirmed the provisional national record on Friday, surpassing the previous high of 40.3°C set in 2019 . Across the continent, the June heatwave has already claimed dozens of lives in France, shattered national records in Britain, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, and left nearly 200 million Europeans facing temperatures above 35°C .
The World Weather Attribution group declared this the most severe June heatwave ever recorded in Europe, directly linking its intensity to fossil fuel-driven climate change . Many capitals experienced their hottest June days since 1950, with Paris hitting 40.9°C on Wednesday and Switzerland registering 38.8°C in Basel. The Netherlands recorded its first regional “super heatwave” since 2020, while Denmark neared its June record of 35.5°C set in 1947 .
Health systems across the continent are straining under the prolonged extreme heat. France’s Paris region activated an emergency hospital plan as the death toll mounted, with Spanish researchers attributing more than 210 fatalities between Sunday and Wednesday to the heat . In cities like Paris and Frankfurt, where few flats have air conditioning, residents sought refuge in hotels or cooler regions. The festival Solidays in Paris was canceled due to safety concerns, a decision organizers called “very bad news” for HIV prevention programs .
As the heatwave moves east, Slovakia and Romania issued highest-level warnings, with Bratislava recording its warmest June night at 26.3°C and temperatures expected to reach 39°C in parts of Slovakia . Experts warn such episodes will become more frequent and intense, with the World Meteorological Organization urging populations to adapt to “a new normal” of extreme heat .
