Spain and Portugal: Temperatures also soared to 44°C (111°F) in both Spain and Portugal on the same day, making it the hottest temperature ever recorded in those countries as well.
Record-Breaking Heatwave: The heatwave was caused by a combination of high pressure over Europe and hot air from North Africa that pushed temperatures up to unprecedented levels across much of Europe for several days during late June 2019.
Impact on People & Wildlife: The extreme heat had a significant impact on people and wildlife alike, with many areas experiencing power outages due to increased demand for air conditioning and numerous reports of animals dying from heat exhaustion or dehydration due to lack of access to water sources or shade from the sun’s rays.
Long-Term Effects: While the immediate effects of this record-breaking heatwave have been felt across Europe, there are concerns about its long-term impacts on ecosystems and human health as climate change continues to cause more frequent extreme weather events like this one in years to come
