More frequent, more extreme and more deadly heatwaves. That is the picture of a Europe battered by high temperatures which, during June, saw record after record broken on the thermometers.
"We have already had six heatwaves, the same as the total for last year. And we are only in July. On top of that, the intensity – in other words, the difference in temperatures compared with what is normal – is greater," Francisco Ferreira, president of the environmental association Zero, told Euronews.
