Barcelona registers highest temperature in 112 years as UK health service urges children and elderly to ‘take weather seriously’ – Europe live

Spain's Barcelona saw its highest temperature in 112 years, hitting a scorching 44°C, marking the warmest June on record across western Europe. This extreme heatwave is being attributed to climate change by World Weather Attribution, a network of climate scientists. As temperatures soared, the UK health service warned vulnerable groups like children and the elderly to take the weather seriously. This intense heat is also causing significant stress for farmers in France, who are facing increased costs due to Middle East tensions, adding to their existing struggles with low crop prices and adverse weather conditions.
