A so-called “heat dome” is pushing temperatures across Europe to extreme levels. Deaths have already been reported in France and the UK, as authorities warn of growing risks.
DW correspondent Lisa Louis reports from Paris on how people and governments are coping. And climate researcher Peter Thorne, Director of ICARUS, explains why this heat is so unusual — and what it tells us about climate change.
The UN calls it a “brutal reminder” of the climate crisis — and experts say such events could become more frequent.
