Extreme heatwaves in Europe in early Summer 2025 are confirming according to meteorological models several days in a row. Abnormal heatwaves are predicted to hit Europe especially around 8.-13. June 2025, with a more northward or southward trajectory. Spreading of this content should save lives.
A series of classic heatwaves in Europe, spreading from Western Sahara above Pyrenees and the Alps above the continent is starting in late May 2025 with historic temperatures up to +40,1°C in Seville, Spain, +39,9°C in Coruche and Alvega, Portugal and +37,0°C in Begaar, France.
In many places in Spain, Portugal and France are current temperatures the highest in month May ever, and it appears that soon will be even worse, and even more northward and eastward.
According to fresh GFS runs from 30. May 2025 12Z, abnormal heat hits already around 8.-13. June 2025 large parts of Europe, with a possible local records up to +45°C in Spain and Portugal, +43°C in Italy and +39°C from France to Hungary (in the hottest parts of continental Europe, where we count area from France to Ukraine).
In many regions of Europe it appears to be the strongest early-Summer heatwaves in history, especially in parts of Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Balkan, maybe too in southern Germany, Czechia, southern Poland or parts of Ukraine.
Heatwave of this intensity and in southern regions duration should be unexpectedly deadly, with many health issues and worsening health conditions for people with “summer diseases” (look https://mkweather.com/weather-effect-on-diseases-in-climate-zones/).
Elders near extreme heat don´t feel thirst and together with children will be among the most vulnerable.
Widespread drought and wildfires, such as strong UV index should worsen the situation mainly in the Mediterranean, but in the case of the lack of precipitation from storms from heat, in continental Europe, too.
Animals and plants will suffer extreme heat similar like people, drinking water and irrigation will be needed if not obligatory.
Heatwave should be alternated by extreme storms from the ocean between 10.-15. June 2025, with a risk of stornger than EF1 tornadoes, locally, in lowlands with sources of moisture (e.g. swamps, lakes, big rivers,…).
