Europe is experiencing a record-breaking heatwave, with Austria hitting 40.3C in Wieselburg, a new July peak and close to its all-time high. The intense heat follows a summer of extreme temperatures across the continent. In contrast, Vancouver, Canada, saw its wettest July since 2016, though rainfall was only slightly above average, underscoring a decade of unusual dryness. Meanwhile, Japan is bracing for Typhoon Dolphin, anticipating strong winds and storm surges. This demonstrates a stark contrast in weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere. The situation highlights the increasing frequency of extreme weather events globally. Further updates are expected as both the heatwave and typhoon develop.
