As heat wave smothers Europe, some hospital rooms lack AC

A record-breaking heat wave is currently smothering Europe, causing hundreds of deaths and forcing school closures. New June temperature records were set in the U.K. and France, while Spain reported at least 212 heat-related fatalities. Some hospital rooms lack AC during this crisis. The World Meteorological Organization warns the heat will spread across Western, Central, and Southern Europe. World Weather Attribution analysis concludes that human-caused climate change made these extreme temperatures virtually impossible fifty years ago.
