Historic Central European Heatwave Grips Krakow As Temperatures Hit 38C

KRAKOW, POLAND - JUNE 29: Pedestrians walk through a dense cloud of water droplets from a municipal water spray station set up in the Main Market Square (Rynek Glowny) to cool down passersby in Krakow, Poland, on June 29, 2026. This local snapshot captures conditions amid an unprecedented Central European heatwave, which just yesterday shattered Poland's 105-year-old national record with a blistering 40.5?C (104.9?F) in Slubice, as active orange alerts remain in place ahead of predicted severe regional storms set to collide with the lingering tropical air mass.
