Recent heat waves in Europe have resulted in record-breaking temperatures, especially in Spain where the town of El Granado reached 46C (114.8F) over the weekend. Neighboring Portugal issued a 'red warning' as Lisbon faced extreme heat, while Italy and Germany also prepared for continued high temperatures. Meteorologists are linking these occurrences to climate change, highlighting an alarming increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves over the years. Authorities have raised concerns about the potential for wildfires, particularly in Greece and other affected regions.
Meteorologists warn that heat waves are becoming more frequent and arriving earlier in the season due to human-driven climate change.
Spain's state weather agency, AEMET, noted that only two June heat waves were recorded between 1975 and 2000. That number has surged dramatically in recent years.
