KRAKOW, POLAND - JUNE 29: A person holds up an outdoor room thermometer registering a temperature reading of approximately 37?C (98.6?F) in the Main Market Square 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.
