In France, the Ministry of Health reported at least 300 excess deaths due to unusual heatwaves in May, particularly affecting people over 75 years old. Meteorologists announced that May 26 was the hottest day in May ever recorded in the country.

In Romania, a severe storm affected Bucharest and 20 counties, causing the death of one person and significant damage.
