Europe is set to continue seeing scorching heat waves in the coming months, potentially affecting everything from power grids to crops.
“The extreme heat that we have seen dominate southeast Europe through both June and July is set to continue through the rest of summer and probably continue into autumn,” said Olivia Birch, a meteorologist at Atmospheric G2. In northwestern Europe too, heat waves interspersed with some cooler, wetter weather are likely to continue into August, she added.
