Episode Details

Ireland braces for a record-breaking heatwave with temperatures soaring past 33°C and “tropical nights” keeping overnight lows above 20°C—officials warn to stay hydrated and seek shade. Europe-wide, an “Omega block” weather pattern traps heat, causing school closures, transport chaos, and hundreds of thousands of poultry deaths in France, alongside at least 50 human fatalities. The heat is also forcing nuclear plants to reduce output due to overheated cooling rivers, pushing up electricity prices across Europe. A cooler Atlantic front may arrive by Friday, dropping temps by up to 7°C, but climate change means extreme heatwaves like this will likely become more frequent.
