Poland Heatwave

A woman uses an umbrellea to protect from the sun in Warsaw, Poland on 27 June, 2026. A severe heatwave gripping Europe since June 20 — described as the worst on record — is causing deaths, infrastructure damage, and widespread disruption across the continent. Temperatures have broken June records in France and Britain, with Paris reaching 40.9°C, while Italy braces for readings above 40°C into the weekend. Driven by an "Omega block" weather pattern and made far more likely by climate change, the heat is expected to shift toward central Europe and the Balkans by month's end.
