Extreme heat across Central Asia in mid-July has buckled concrete highways, pushed electricity demand to record levels, and increased pressure on power grids

The European Monitoring of Excess Mortality for Public Health Action said there were no other major factors other than the heat to explain the spike in deaths.

Domaine Leflaive started picking on August 13, beating a benchmark from 1556 after repeated heatwaves sped ripening.

England's Accident and Emergency departments are facing their busiest period ever, with over 2.4 million patients attending emergency services during May, June, and July—the highest monthly totals on record. The unprecedented surge is attributed to extreme heatwaves causing dehydration, heatstroke, and exacerbated health risks for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as heart, kidney, or respiratory issues. NHS leaders have warned that the strain parallels winter pressures, while staff face inhumane working conditions due to soaring temperatures, equipment failures, and outdated infrastructure. Nurses report collapsing from dehydration, experiencing seizures, and having to relocate medications due to overheating facilities. Prof Frankie Swords praised staff resilience but urged public caution during peak heat. Health Secretary Yvette Cooper highlighted the need for NHS preparedness for summer pressures, while the Royal College of Nursing condemned the situation as 'inhumane,' citing decades of underinvestment in healthcare infrastructure. The crisis underscores systemic challenges in adapting to climate extremes and ensuring safe working conditions for frontline workers.
