Europe Braces for Intense Heatwave and Storms

A significant heatwave is affecting Europe, with temperatures soaring up to 42°C in parts of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly around Seville. In Germany, temperatures are expected to reach up to 31°C, while other regions are likely to experience similar heat.

This heatwave has prompted weather agencies to issue warnings across several communities, including Andalusia, Navarra, and La Rioja. Alongside the heat, there is a heightened risk of thunderstorms, with heavy rain and potential tornadoes forecasted in Germany.

The heatwave is anticipated to persist until the weekend, followed by a slight cooling. However, meteorologists caution that the summer of 2025 may be exceptionally hot, with the polar jet stream contributing to unstable weather conditions, including storms, hail, and possible flooding in Germany.

These extreme weather patterns indicate a challenging summer ahead for Europe, marked by high temperatures and severe weather events.
