Europe’s Scorching Summer Crisis | Lubbock News
Description
Europe is baking under record-breaking heat, with Italy placing all 27 major cities on its highest alert as temperatures soar past 104°F. Austria shattered its national record at 106°F, while crippling droughts threaten water supplies—so bad in some areas that it’s the worst since 1885. Hungary’s Danube River has dropped so low that its nuclear plant can’t cool reactors, forcing nationwide power cuts—even Parliament sessions were canceled. Wildfires rage from France to the Balkans, with one blaze in southeastern France already scorching 60 square kilometers. Scientists warn this isn’t a fluke—it’s the new normal: hotter, drier, more dangerous summers demanding urgent adaptation from governments and industries alike.
