Heatwave across Europe leaves 8 dead as record early-summer temperatures spark wildfires and disrupt power
At least eight people have died due extreme heat across Europe, with wildfires killing 4 in Spain, 4 more deaths reported in France over two days, and soaring temperatures forcing the shutdown of a nuclear reactor in Switzerland read more Tourists, holding an umbrella to protect themselves from the sun, walk past a Ferris wheel in the Tuileries Garden on a sunny and warm summer day in Paris as an early summer heatwave hits France, on July 2, 2025. Reuters Wildfires on Wednesday killed two people in Spain and two others died in France because of a heatwave that has gripped Europe and forced the closure of a nuclear reactor at a Swiss power plant. With scorching temperatures again on Wednesday, Spanish officials said a wildfire in Catalonia had killed two people a day earlier and France's energy minister reported two deaths with a direct link to the heatwave, with 300 others taken to hospital. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Italy issued red alerts for 18 cities because of the extreme heat and Turkey has been tackling wildfires in what meteorologists say is an 'exceptional' heatwave because it has come so early in Europe's summer. The blaze in Torrefeta in the Catalonia region of Spain destroyed several farms and affected an area stretching for about 40 km (25 miles), official said. It was largely contained though more wind and thunder storms were expected on Wednesday. 'The fire was extremely violent and erratic due to storms and strong winds, generating a convection cloud that complicated extinguishing efforts,' the fire service said. Authorities in the Spanish city of Barcelona said on Tuesday they were also looking into whether the death of a street sweeper at the weekend was heat-related. Spain experienced its hottest June on record this year, and France had its hottest June since 2003, Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said. Weather forecaster Meteo France said red alerts remained for several areas of central France, but that heat was easing in the west, though intense thunderstorms with possible heavy bursts of rainfall were expected in many parts of the east. Temperature highs were expected around 39 Celsius (102.2°F), with up to 34 C in Paris, and 36 C to 38 C in Strasbourg, Lyon, Grenoble and Avignon. In Italy, Florence was expected to bear the brunt of the heat with a top temperature of 39 C during the day. Red alerts were issued in 18 cities, including Milan and Rome. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There was a risk of violent and sudden rain and storms, particularly along the central Appennine mountain region and Sardinia and Sicily. Swiss utility Axpo shut down one reactor unit at the Beznau nuclear power plant and halved output at another on Tuesday because of the high temperature of river water. Water is used for cooling and other purposes at nuclear power plants, and restrictions were expected to continue as temperatures are monitored. Scientists say greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels are a cause of climate change, with deforestation and industrial practices being other contributing factors. Last year was the planet's hottest on record.

France Registers Second-Warmest June Since Records Began In 1900
France registered its second-warmest June since records began in 1900, said the country's ministry for ecological transition on Wednesday, as Europe swelters under an early summer heatwave. High temperatures across Europe this week broke records, leading to the closure of nearly 2,000 schools in France at midday on Tuesday. "June 2025 has become the second hottest June since records began in 1900, behind June 2003," Ecology Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said on Wednesday. Temperatures in June 2025 were 3.3 degrees Celsius higher than the seasonal average compared to 3.6 degrees Celsius in June 2003, her office said. "More than 300 people have been treated by firefighters and two have died following heat-related illnesses," Pannier-Runacher added. Her office later clarified that the two deaths were not an official confirmation of the number of death but based on information from media reports. France's Health Minister Catherine Vautrin confirmed it was "too early to take stock" of the consequences of the heatwave. "What I can say is that yesterday we saw an increase in emergency services activity in the Ile-de-France region, a serious increase of 15 percent," Vautrin said, speaking on television broadcaster BFMTV on Wednesday. The health ministry said that an initial estimate of excess mortality during the heatwave will be published around two weeks after it comes to an end. But a detailed report showing the number of deaths linked to the soaring temperatures with medical data will not be available until the autumn, it added. Around 3,700 heat-related deaths were reported in 2024, a year without red alerts for heatwaves. In 2023, which saw hotter summer temperatures, more than 5,000 deaths linked to heat were recorded. Relief will start to arrive from the Atlantic on Wednesday, bringing thunderstorms and cooler temperatures to parts of western Europe.
