An unusual heatwave continues to affect parts of Western Europe, caused by a 'heat dome' that has raised temperatures well above seasonal norms. France and the United Kingdom have recorded temperature records for May, and the spokesperson for the French government stated that seven people are considered to have died directly or indirectly due to the heat, including two individuals participating in sports activities. This climatic phenomenon has raised concerns about the impact on public health and outdoor activities, in the context of extreme temperatures becoming increasingly frequent in Europe.
