Europe Records Hottest June Days in Switzerland and Denmark Amid Ongoing Heatwave

Tens of millions of people across Europe are enduring extreme temperatures as a heatwave pushes eastward, France 24 reported. Scientists stated that a heatwave of this intensity so early in the summer would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change. Switzerland has broken its record for the hottest June day for the third consecutive day.

Denmark recorded its highest temperature on record on Saturday. Two nuclear reactors were taken offline after the Aare River became too warm to cool them. Spain has reported 327 heat-related deaths this week.

Europe is the fastest-warming continent.
