Westeuropa steckt unter einer Hitzeglocke, dem sogenannten "Heat Dome". In Frankreich sind am Montag mehr als dreihundert Temperaturrekorde gebrochen worden, in London wurden fĂŒnfunddreißig Grad gemessen. So warm war es dort im Mai noch nie. ARD und ZDF haben ausfĂŒhrlich berichtet: Einunddreißig BeitrĂ€ge sollen es allein gestern bis zum Nachmittag gewesen sein, sagt der Verein "Klima vor acht". Und in keinem einzigen dieser BeitrĂ€ge sei die Hitze als Teil der Klimakrise eingeordnet worden.

‘Mind-bogglingly crazy’: #Europe’s deadly, early #heatwave is smashing records

There have been “seven deaths directly or indirectly linked to the heat, including at least five from drowning, as well as deaths related to extreme heat during sports events,” Maud Bregeon, a French government spokesperson, told French TV network TF1.

By Laura Paddison, CNN
Published May 27, 2026

"Temperature records are being smashed across Europe as parts of the continent swelter in a heat wave that is bringing extreme temperatures alarmingly early in the year.

"The continent is grappling with a powerful heat dome, a persistent high-pressure system which acts like a lid on a pot, trapping hot air and pushing it downward. It can remain in place for days or even weeks and is a weather phenomenon made more likely and more intense by human-caused climate change.

"On Monday, the UK endured its hottest May day on record, with temperatures spiking to 34.8 degrees Celsius (94.6 Fahrenheit) at #KewGardens in London, breaking the previous record by 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit). Usually heat records are broken by only fractions of a degree.

"Then, on Tuesday, the record was broken again, as temperatures soared to 35 degrees (95 Fahrenheit). The average high temperature for London in late May is around 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).

"As the heat climbed Monday, a wildfire broke out near #ArthursSeat, a hill in #EdinburghScotland, and hundreds of properties in southeast England were left without #water as demand spiked.

"There was little respite overnight for the UK, which experienced a 'tropical night' where temperatures didn’t fall below 20 degrees (68 Fahrenheit).

"These temperatures may not sound extreme but are very uncomfortable — even dangerous — in the UK, where most houses are not insulated well enough to keep out heat and only around 5% of homes have air conditioning. A report last week from the UK’s Climate Change Committee warned the UK was 'built for a climate that no longer exists.' "
