Germany has recorded its highest temperature ever as a relentless heatwave tightened its grip on Europe over the weekend, leaving countries battling heat-related deaths, strained infrastructure, travel disruption and renewed concerns about the accelerating impact of climate change.
Germany's national weather service, the DWD, said a provisional reading of 41.5 degrees Celsius (106.7 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded Saturday at the Drewitz weather station in eastern Germany. The figure surpassed the previous national record of 41.3 °C, set just a day earlier in Saarbrücken.
The agency issued extreme heat warnings for nearly the entire country, with officials urging residents to conserve water and avoid prolonged exposure to the scorching conditions.
The new record came as Western Europe's prolonged heatwave pushed east into Central Europe, bringing dangerous temperatures to Germany, Poland and neighboring countries after Britain, France, Italy and Switzerland all reported record June heat earlier in the week.
Germany braces for peak weekend heat
Meteorologists warned that the most intense heat was expected over the weekend, with thunderstorms forecast to bring some relief afterward. "The heatwave is going to peak at the weekend, well over 40C in some parts of Germany," said Karsten Brandt, a meteorologist with the forecasting service Donnerwetter.de.
Officials warned that prolonged exposure could pose serious health risks, especially for elderly people, children, and those with underlying medical conditions. In Frankfurt, organizers of the Ironman European Championship shortened both the cycling and running segments because of the dangerous temperatures.
German rail operator Deutsche Bahn also allowed passengers to cancel long-distance tickets free of charge through early next week, citing exceptional strain on railway infrastructure.
The company said extreme heat raises the risk of damage to signals, tracks and overhead power lines, while thunderstorms and wildfires could create further operational challenges.
Temperature records fall across EuropeGermany was far from the only country facing unprecedented heat. The Czech Republic recorded its highest temperature ever after thermometers reached 40.6 °C in Doksany, narrowly surpassing the previous national record of 40.4 °C set in 2012. Denmark also saw its hottest day since records began, with temperatures reaching 37 °Cand topping the country's previous record of 36.4 °C, set in 1975.
Britain broke temperature records for a third consecutive day. The UK Met Office said a provisional reading of 37.3 °C in Santon Downham, Suffolk, exceeded the previous record of 36.9 °C set only hours earlier.
"Before this week, the UK's 1976 record temperature for June of 35.6 °C had stood for 50 years, but provisionally it has been exceeded on three consecutive days this week," Met Office climate spokesman Grahame Madge said.
In Italy, the Health Ministry placed 18 cities under its highest-level red heat alert for Saturday and Sunday, including Rome, Milan, Florence, Bologna, Turin, and Venice, as temperatures were expected to approach 39 °C.
France reports deaths as services come under strainFrance has seen some of the deadliest consequences of the ongoing heatwave. Authorities reported deaths among both elderly and younger people as extreme temperatures disrupted rail services, reduced power generation, and forced outdoor events to be canceled.
Hospitals in parts of Europe have struggled with rising admissions linked to heat-related illness, while demand for cooling equipment has surged. Retailers have reported shortages of electric fans across the continent, and Asian air-conditioner manufacturers have seen a sharp increase in European sales.
Infrastructure and farms feel the pressureThe extreme heat has disrupted daily life across much of Europe. Roads have buckled, railway tracks have expanded in the heat, farms have reported crop losses and several cultural landmarks have temporarily closed to protect visitors and staff.
Homes across northern Europe are especially vulnerable because many were built to retain warmth during winter rather than keep interiors cool during increasingly frequent summer heatwaves.
Scientists link heatwave to global warmingAccording to Reuters Climate Monitor, temperatures in parts of Europe have risen as much as 18 degrees Celsius above seasonal averages. Meteorologists say the prolonged heat is being driven by an omega block, a weather pattern that traps a dome of hot air over a region and prevents cooler systems from moving through.
The World Meteorological Organization said the heatwave was expected to gradually shift toward Central Europe and the Balkans by the end of June. Climate scientists said the current event carries the clear fingerprint of human-induced climate change.
Researchers said the exceptionally warm nighttime temperatures seen during this week's heatwave would have been virtually impossible without man-made climate change. They added that such overnight heat is now 100 times more likely than it would have been just two decades ago.
The WMO has previously warned that Europe is warming at more than twice the global average, increasing both the frequency and intensity of prolonged heatwaves across the continent.
