At least 191 million people across Europe are forecast to face temperatures of at least 35°C on Sunday, according to AFP estimates reported by The Local. The hottest conditions are expected particularly in Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Another AFP calculation cited by the outlet says that at least 193 million people are expected to experience temperatures above 35°C on Saturday. The figures indicate the heat remains widespread across the continent and that the intensity and affected areas change from day to day. The Saturday forecast is described as an increase compared with Friday, and the heatwave is expected to shift eastwards as the weekend progresses. While the reports use slightly different thresholds—“at least 35°C” for Sunday and “above 35°C” for Saturday—the estimates point to similarly large populations enduring extreme heat. The coverage focuses on the number of people in the forecast range and the main countries expected to see the most severe temperatures, based on AFP’s calculations.
