🧯 Europe battered by wildfires, more info below ⤵️ 🌡️ A blistering heatwave is currently gripping Europe, sending thermometers soaring to 43° C in France, 40 °C in Spain and 43°C in Greece. 🇪🇺 This trend is set to continue – Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average, bringing ever more extreme heat and wildfires. 💦 More than half (52%) of Europe and the Mediterranean basin was hit by drought in July for the fourth consecutive month, according to European Drought Observatory (EDO) data. Drought levels in the region are the highest on record for the month of July since data collection began in 2012, exceeding the 2012-2024 average by 21%. 🛢️ The burning of fossil fuels for energy and manufacturing are the main causes of climate change. The last 10 years have been the warmest on record.
