VARIOUS OF CROWD OF STRANDED PEOPLE AT TRAIN STATIONPARIS, FRANCE - JULY 1: Paris Saint-Lazare station experienced severe rail traffic disruptions on Tuesday, July 1, after intense heat caused damage to the catenary system used to supply electric power to trains. The high temperatures, reaching 39°C in Paris, led to significant impacts on lines L and J, as well as trains traveling to Normandy. Thousands of passengers were left stranded inside the station, enduring the sweltering conditions while waiting for train services to resume. Most of Europe is experiencing a severe heat wave, with temperatures significantly above seasonal averages, said experts at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), which operates the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), on Tuesday. The ECMWF’s medium-range forecasts indicate large areas of the continent will continue to face unusually high daytime and nighttime temperatures in early July, especially in southern Europe. Reanalysis data from the C3S revealed that Europe endured two intense heat waves in June, one peaking around June 20 and another one week later. Preliminary data suggests that June may rank among the five hottest on record for the continent. Several areas recorded historic highs in June, including 46ºC (114ºF) in Huelva, Spain, according to the Aemet national weather agency. In France, Meteo France placed 84 departments under an orange alert Monday and several under red Tuesday, calling the situation "unprecedented." The Benelux region and parts of France are experiencing temperature anomalies of 10ºC to 14ºC above historical norms. High temperature alerts were also issued for Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium.
