Western Europe is grappling with successive heat waves, with temperatures forecasted to reach up to 40 degrees C in France and 38 degrees C in Britain. These conditions, combined with widespread drought, have severely strained resources, leading to water supply warnings from organizations like Southern Water and heightened fears of wildfires.

Britain is poised for a record hot summer, and large parts of the country are currently officially in drought. This extreme heat has led to health issues, including nursing staff collapsing from heat exhaustion, and uncontrolled wildfires have been blazing, most notably in the New Forest. Officials are considering measures such as water use bans or restricting disposable barbecues.
