Europe's Hottest June on Record Traced to Climate Change

Many countries across Europe have experienced the hottest June on record, as heatwaves sweep the region. Countries in Northern Europe that are not used to weeks of 30°C-plus heat are suffering due to a lack of air conditioning and buildings ill-prepared for such heat.

Over 1,300 people died during the June heatwaves, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), demonstrating the severity of the issue. Now, a recent study shows that climate change, as suspected, is to blame for the high temperatures.
