No relief as scorching temperatures grip Europe, putting regions on high alert
Forest fires fanned by high winds and hot, dry weather damaged some holiday homes in Turkey as a lingering heatwave that has cooked much of Europe led authorities to raise warnings and tourists to find ways to beat the heat on Monday. A heat dome hovered over an arc from France, Portugal and Spain to Turkey, while data from European forecasters suggested other countries were set to broil further in coming days. New highs are expected on Wednesday before rain is forecast to bring respite to some areas later this week. Women cool off in a public fountain during the first summer heatwave in Seville, Spain, on Monday. Reuters "Extreme heat is no longer a rare event — it has become the new normal,' tweeted U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres from Seville, Spain, where temperatures were expected to hit 42˚C on Monday afternoon. Reiterating his frequent calls for action to fight climate change, Guterres added: "The planet is getting hotter & more dangerous — no country is immune.' Beachgoers play in water on the shores of Lake Issyk Kul in Cholpon-Ata, some 250km from Bishkek. AFP In Portugal — his home country — one reading on Sunday turned up a suspected record-high June temperature of 46.6˚C in Mora, about 100 kilometres east of Lisbon. Weather officials were working to confirm whether that marked a new record. Portuguese authorities issued a red heat warning Monday for seven of 18 districts as temperatures were forecast to hit 43˚C . People visit the beach amid warm weather as temperatures continue to rise across the region, in Brighton, Britain. Reuters The first heatwave of the year has gripped Spain since the weekend and no relief is expected until Thursday, Spain's national weather service said Monday. The country appeared to hit a new high for June on Saturday when 46˚C was tallied in the southern province of Huelva. In France, which was almost entirely sweltering in the heatwave on Monday and where air conditioning remains relatively rare, local and national authorities were taking extra effort to care for homeless and elderly people and people working outside. Tourists stand in front of a cooling fan installed outside the Colosseum in during the heatwave in Rome. Reuters Some tourists were putting off plans for some rigorous outdoor activities. "We were going to do a bike tour today actually, but we decided because it was gonna be so warm not to do the bike tour," said Andrea Tyson, 46, who was visiting Paris from New Philadelphia, Ohio, on Sunday.

The mercury was rising farther north, too.

AP Britain's national weather service, the Met Office, said the Wimbledon Championships were facing what could be their hottest start on record — with temperatures of just under 30˚C recorded at the nearby Kew Gardens. Tennis enthusiasts fanned themselves or sought shade from the blazing sun as the first day of matches got underway at the All England Club on Monday. Tournament rules allow players to take a 10-minute break when the heat hits 30.1 degrees Celsius or more in mid-match. In southern Germany, temperatures of up to 35˚C were expected on Monday, and they were forecast to creep higher until midweek — going as high as 39˚C on Wednesday. Some German towns and regions imposed limits on how much water can be taken from rivers and lakes. Associated Press

Ladurée x Maison Matisse: A Colorful Homage to Artistic Legacy
This summer, Ladurée collaborates with Maison Matisse to honor the vivid artistry of Henri Matisse. The partnership introduces a limited-edition macaron box inspired by Matisse's 1952 masterpiece, La Perruche et la Sirène, reflecting the shared creative spirit of both houses. The 12-macaron box features bold blue, vivid orange, radiant red, and shimmering pink hues, echoing Matisse's signature cut-outs. Inside, a vivid blue interior reminiscent of a summer sky with a handwritten quote from Matisse's 1947 Jazz album: 'There are flowers everywhere for those who want to see them.' Executive Pastry Chef Julien Alvarez draws inspiration from Matisse's fondness for vanilla and citrus, crafting the new gourmet collection. The macaron blends notes of vanilla, mandarin, clementine, and yuzu, while the Matisse Vanilla & Citrus Entremets combines shortbread biscuit, soft biscuit, caramel, orange-clementine marmalade, and vanilla cream. The Ladurée & Maison Matisse collection will be available from May 28, 2025 with the Matisse Vanilla & Citrus Entremets for AED 55 at Dubai Mall and AED 52 at all other UAE outlets; and the macaron box for AED 210 at all UAE outlets.
