A record-breaking heatwave across Europe is linked to over 1,300 deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Italy, Spain, Greece, and other nations have been particularly affected by the extreme temperatures. The heatwave has persisted for weeks, straining healthcare systems and prompting warnings about public health risks. In Italy, the regions of Piedmont and South Tyrol have also experienced severe weather, including heavy hail. Additionally, the Valtellina valley in Italy was hit by intense rainfall and flooding late in the day. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and provide assistance to vulnerable populations as extreme weather events become more frequent.
