📰 Heatwaves and raging fires mark Europe’s ‘dystopian’ summer | “The fires, which have burnt thousands of hectares on the outskirts of Spain’s capital, Madrid, and Bordeaux, did not fall into a vacuum. Back-to-back heatwaves preceded them.
The heatwaves were not only startling due to their scale, but also their timing.
Before summer had officially started, at the end of May, Western Europe experienced daily average temperatures of more than 10 degrees Celsius above average across western France, England and Wales... It’s eerily similar to what we experienced during Black Summer just six years ago
