Paris, France, July 9, 2026 (AFP) AFP

Western Europe experienced its hottest June on record as a searing heatwave swept across a continent facing increasingly frequent and intense heat extremes, the EU's climate monitor said Thursday.

The average temperature in western Europe reached 20.74C in June, more than 3C above the 1991-2020 norm, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service. It broke the region's previous record set in June 2025.
