Europe Feels the Heat: Is This the New Normal?

Western Europe is facing a brutal heat wave. Spain just set a new June record with temperatures hitting 46 degrees Celsius. That's hotter than a summer day in many places. The heat is so intense that health officials have issued red alerts. They're telling people to stay inside during the hottest part of the day. This isn't just a one-time thing. The UN Secretary-General said extreme heat is becoming the new normal. He experienced it firsthand in Seville. Portugal might have broken its own June record with a scorching 46. 6 degrees. The heat is moving north, too. Germany is next in line for a sweltering few days. France is also feeling the burn. Paris and other areas are on red alert. The heat is so bad that a big forest fire started in the south. It's burned through almost 1, 000 acres. People had to evacuate a nearby campground. Even Wimbledon isn't safe from the heat. The tennis tournament saw its hottest opening day ever. Temperatures hit 33 degrees on the court. That's hot enough to make players take breaks between sets. The good news? A cold front is coming. It should bring some relief later in the week. But for now, Europe is dealing with some serious heat.
