Europe's June heatwave Deaths and power pressures

Date unknown

TSN describes an ongoing European heatwave and reported deaths: five in Italy over a day, temperatures around 41°C, eighteen cities under the highest alert and power-grid problems. For France it reports record-hot Wednesday and Thursday, a previous-day daily average of 30°C and authorities' account of dozens of deaths including children. Britain and Spain also face extreme or record temperatures. A Madrid institute's assessment remains cautious: recent heat may have contributed to increased deaths. The passage does not establish exact onset/end or an independently verified continental mortality total.
