An intense heatwave across Europe could set new June records in several countries, with temperatures predicted to reach 45C later this week. The heat is expected to continue through the weekend, and will be particularly bad for people living near the Mediterranean coast. “In the hives, there is nothing to eat, beekeepers are having to feed them with syrup because they risk dying from hunger,” the union stated in French media reports.

In Germany, authorities have warned of a high risk of forest fires. Scientists have linked the increase in heatwaves in Europe to climate change.
