Original: Half of Europe faced very strong heat stress this summer, EU scientists say
EU scientists report that half of Europe experienced very strong heat stress over the summer, underlining the continent's status as the world's fastest-warming continent. The finding adds to a string of record-breaking European summers, with prolonged heatwaves affecting health, agriculture and infrastructure across much of the region.
Why now: Europe just went through an exceptional summer of heat, and the EU assessment quantifies how widespread the heat stress was.
