A deadly heatwave sweeping Europe has killed at least six people across Spain, Italy, and France, with temperatures soaring above 40°C. Two farmers died in a wildfire in Spain’s Catalonia, while three men in Italy died on beaches and one girl collapsed at Versailles in France. France also recorded over 300 emergency cases. Wildfires forced evacuations in Greece’s Crete and Halkidiki. Experts blame the extreme weather on human-driven climate change, warning such deadly heat will become more frequent. Vulnerable groups like the elderly and young children are most at risk, with cities facing greater danger due to the urban heat island effect. (PC: Getty Images)
