昨日（6月），欧洲遭遇有记录以来最严重的热浪袭击。世界天气归因网络指出，此次发生在六月的极端高温若无气候变化影响几乎不可能发生 [1]。受此影响，西班牙巴塞罗那录得最高气温达40.7摄氏度，创下该地112年来的最高纪录；与此同时，西班牙境内部分监测站点气温甚至攀升至44摄氏度 [1]。
法国方面，位于加龙河畔的Golfech核电站因河水温度预计将升至28摄氏度而被迫暂时关闭反应堆 [1]。此次热浪已对欧洲其他地区造成严重健康威胁，全球见证组织报告显示，近3亿欧盟人口（其中包括约1亿儿童和老人）在热浪期间暴露于有害水平的臭氧之下 [1]。此外，比利时卫生部门统计显示，仅在6月18日至7月1日期间，该国报告的超额死亡人数已达1,747例，超额死亡率高达47% [1]。科学家警告称，此类极端天气事件已导致包括野火频发在内的多重灾害后果 [1]。
Barcelona recorded its hottest day in 112 years yesterday with a peak temperature of 40.7C [1]. Temperatures at some sites across Spain reached as high as 44C during this period [1]. In France, the Golfech nuclear power plant temporarily shut down its reactors because river water temperatures were expected to rise to 28C due to the extreme heat [1]. Scientists from the World Weather Attribution network stated that such a European June heatwave is "the most severe on record" and would have been almost impossible without climate change [1]. The Global Witness organization reported that nearly 300 million people across the EU, including one hundred million children and elderly individuals, were exposed to harmful ozone levels during the heatwave [1]. Meanwhile, Belgium recorded a surge in excess deaths between June 18 and July 1, reporting 1,747 cases with an excess mortality rate of 47% [1]. The extreme weather has also led to frequent wildfires across Europe [1].
