A severe heatwave breaks or extends temperature records across parts of Europe, with conditions breaking June and, in some places, all-time highs as the weather system moves east. In the UK, a provisional maximum of 37.7C is recorded at Lingwood in Norfolk on 27 June, sharply exceeding the previous June record of 35.6C set in 1976. Germany also reports all-time highs, including 41.7C recorded in Coschen on 28 June, and another high of 41.3C near Saarbrücken close to the French border. The Netherlands records a June record high of 39.4C on 26 June, while Hungary reports a new all-time record of 42C in Szécsény on 30 June. Additional reports say new preliminary all-time or June records are set in other countries as the heatwave advances, including Denmark and the Czech Republic, with Switzerland also reporting a new monthly June mark. France experiences fatalities linked to the heat, while other countries including Switzerland and Britain also record heat-related record temperatures during the same period. Sources indicate further record risk as the heatwave continues toward eastern Europe, including Poland.
