#France records around 1,000 additional deaths as #ExtremeHeat breaks European records 🌡️ 🥵 By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and JOHN LEICESTER Updated 9:30 PM EDT, June 28, 2026 BERLIN (AP) — "France saw around 1,000 additional deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave, the country’s public health agency said Sunday, as the head of the World Health Organization warned that Europe is now the fastest-warming continent and needs to do more to protect its citizens. "Temperature records were toppled in several countries on the weekend, #wildfires were sparked in #Germany and Berlin police used water cannons to cool down the crowds. "Meanwhile, the heat wave slowly moved toward eastern parts of the continent. "Germany marked a new record for the third day in a row with 41.7 degrees Celsius (107 degrees Fahrenheit) in #Neißemünde, near the border with #Poland, which baked under its new all-time high of 40.5 C (104.9 F). The #CzechRepublic also experienced its hottest day ever with 41.9 C (107.4 F), up from the previous record of 40.9 degrees Celsius (105.6 F) on Saturday. "A new study from the World Weather Attribution, a Europe-based collaboration of scientists, reported Friday that the record-breaking heat and humidity in Europe this past week would not have been possible without #ClimateChange. "The rapid study found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely today than it would have been 20 years ago."
