European Heatwave Shatters May Temperature Records, Raises Climate Concerns
Western Europe is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave, with the UK and France recording their hottest May temperatures ever. The UK saw temperatures reach 34.8 degrees Celsius, breaking previous records by 2 degrees. France also reported its hottest May day, with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This extreme weather is attributed to a 'heat dome,' a high-pressure system trapping warm air over the region. The heatwave has resulted in several deaths, including those linked to sports events, and has prompted warnings about the health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
