Europe has faced significant heatwaves in recent years, with 2023 and 2003 being notably extreme. Summer heatwaves often bring record-breaking temperatures, strain on infrastructure, health risks, and environmental challenges like wildfires and drought. Heatwaves are caused by high-pressure systems trapping warm air, sometimes intensified by climate change trends, leading to amplified temperature extremes.
