Europa, lovită de o vară fără precedent! Vestul continentului a doborât toate recordurile de căldură

Western Europe experienced its hottest summer in 2026, with temperatures 2.5°C above the last decade's average, according to Copernicus data. The continent faced significant heat stress, impacting health, agriculture, and energy systems. Record heatwaves began unusually early and persisted into September, leading to severe droughts and wildfires affecting hundreds of thousands of hectares. The extreme conditions resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and major agricultural losses. Experts warn that the increasing frequency of extreme weather events signals significant climate changes in Europe, urging measures to mitigate risks associated with high temperatures.
