Europe faces record-breaking heatwave.

QNgTV - Weather forecasting agencies warn that Europe will face an extreme heatwave lasting through the week due to a "heat dome" containing warm air from North Africa trapped under a high-pressure system over Western Europe. Some areas have already recorded record high temperatures, including the UK, Spain, Ireland, and France.

The UK's meteorological agency reported that May 25th was the hottest day of May so far, with temperatures reaching 34.8 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees higher than the previous record. This temperature is unusual for the UK, even during the summer. The extreme temperature increase is a sign of climate change and this type of weather is likely to become the new norm. Climate experts have also urged the UK government to adapt infrastructure such as schools and hospitals to cope with global warming.

In Spain, temperatures are expected to peak at 38 degrees Celsius this weekend, and many areas have imposed restrictions on outdoor working hours.

Across the English Channel, the French meteorological agency reported that dozens of temperature records had been broken in several French cities, and that eight western regions had been placed on heatwave alert.

The capital city of Paris also recorded its first temperature above 30 degrees Celsius this year, and the unusually high temperatures are forecast to continue until the end of the week.
