Spain was the most prominent June ever, as the burning temperatures continued to control Europe.

The National Weather Service said that the “very hot” country in June 2025 “had crushed the records”, bypassing the regular average of July and August.

This comes at a time when parts of Spain and Portugal recorded the highest temperature of June ever, with 46 degrees Celsius in El Granado in southwestern Spain, a day after breaking the records in Mora in the center of Portugal.

Elsewhere on the continent on Tuesday, tens of thousands of people were evacuated due to forest fires in Western Türkiye, while two people died in Italy after separate heat -related deaths.

Overnight, AEMET Meteorological Agency said that several places in the Iberian Peninsula topped 43 degrees Celsius, but added that a period of rest in temperature was on its way from Thursday.

Night temperatures recorded overnight on Tuesday 28c in Seville and 27 degrees Celsius in Barcelona.

In Türkiye, rescuers evacuated more than 50,000 people – most of them from the West Isder Province – where firefighters have continued to put hundreds of forest fires that erupted in recent days.

Fires also swept parts of Bilecik, Hatay, Sakarya and Manisa provinces.

During the past three days, the Minister of Forestry, Ibrahim Daykli, said, “The emergency teams responded to 263 fires throughout the country.

In France, many cities witnessed more accurate and day in June on Monday, but the predictors said that the heat wave should expect peak on Tuesday.

The upper part of the Eiffel Tower was closed in Paris due to the severe European heat wave. While Climate Minister Agnes Banier Runshar described a “unprecedented” situation.

For the first time in five years, the Paris region activated a red alert, along with 15 other French regions. The Ministry of Education said that 1,350 public schools will either be partially closed or completely on Tuesday.

46.6 C reading (115.9F) was recorded in Mora, Portugal, about 60 miles east of Lisbon on Sunday. Portuguese weather officials were working to confirm whether this was a new record for June.

In Italy, the Tuscany region witnessed the hospital declines by 20 %, according to local reports.

The Italians were exposed to 21 out of 27 cities to the highest heat alert, and it advised 13 regions, including Lombardi and Emilia, not to adventure abroad during the hottest day periods of the day.

In Lombardy, outdoor work was banned from 12:30 to 16:00 in hot days on construction sites, roads and farms to September.

Greek temperatures approach 40 degrees Celsius for several days, and forest fires have struck many coastal cities near the capital of Athens that destroy homes and force people to evacuate.

Parts of the UK were shy of being one of the most important days of June ever on Monday.

UK’s highest temperature of the day was recorded at Heathrow Airport in London in 33.1C. Meanwhile, Wimbledon recorded a temperature of 32.9 degrees Celsius, which is the most important opening day in the tennis championship.

In Germany, the country’s meteorological service warned that temperatures could reach approximately 38 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday – that are likely to be record temperatures.

The thermal wave has reduced levels in the River Rhine – a major shipping road – which limits the amount of shipping vessels can transport and increase the shipping costs.

Countries in the Balkans and around them were struggling with intense heat, although the temperatures began to cool. Forest fires were also reported in Montenegro.

While the thermal wave is a possible health problem, it also affects the environment. High temperatures in the Adriatic Sea encourage gas species such as toxic lion thickness, while also caused more tension on Ice icebergs Alpine that already shrunk at record rates.

On Monday, the head of the United Nations Human Rights, Falk Turk, warned that the heat wave shed light on the need for climate adaptation – away from practices and energy sources, such as fossil fuels, which are the main cause of climate change.

He told the United Nations Human Rights Council: “High temperatures, high seas, floods, droughts and forest fires threaten our rights in life, health, to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, and much more,” he told the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Heat waves have become more common due to human climate change, according to the United Nations Government Group on climate change.

Severe hot weather will occur often – and becomes more intense – as the planet continues to warm, he said.

Richard Alan, professor of climate science at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, explained that high levels of greenhouse gases make it difficult for the planet to lose excess heat.

“The warmer and thirsty atmosphere is more effective in drying the soil, which means that the heat waves are condensed, as moderate thermal events are now extreme.”
