Ready for another day of temperatures way above 30C?
The European heatwave of 2026 begins to slowly move eastwards, but things are still going to affect millions of Europeans.
The red extreme heat warning continues in the UK; 72 out of 96 mainland French departments are covered by its French equivalent, as are 17 Italian cities – and these numbers are actually even higher than yesterday.
It’s 33C in Nantes, 31C in Paris and it’s not even 10am local time.
We will see the highs of 39C in Paris, 36C in Germany’s Cologne and Italy’s Bologna, 35C in Belgium’s Brussels, 33C in Berlin, and 31C in London.
And Bratislava, Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw look on, wondering about what is going to happen as the temperatures there are expected to hit, erm, 40C over the weekend and on Monday.
I will bring you all the latest updates on how the continent is (desperately trying) to cope in these temperatures.
You can also tell us how you are doing and what are your strategies for this heat:
It’s Thursday, 25 June 2026, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.
Good morning.
