Episode Details

Europe is in the grip of a deadly heatwave, with record-breaking temperatures scorching cities from Italy to the Balkans. Twenty-two Italian cities, including the Vatican, are under red alerts as pilgrims fan themselves during papal events. Croatia, Serbia, and Albania face wildfires and soaring temps, with Albania’s blaze burning vast areas. France reports over a thousand excess deaths—mostly elderly—with funeral homes overwhelmed. Scientists blame climate change, saying such heat is now 100 times more likely than just two decades ago. The heat will linger across central and eastern Europe, with another surge predicted for mid-July. Tragically, two boys died in a hot car in Cyprus, and two cyclists perished in Poland—reminders of the deadly toll this extreme weather takes.
