Usually intense heat is associated with an unpleasant feeling that causes a bit of discomfort, but some feel that it is something that can be much more insidious and even dangerous due to the body's attempt to keep temperatures under control and lower them. Every organ must face an unhealthy stressful condition (which can even lead to death), and the mind can become unclear leading to mistakes in judgment. Moreover it should be considered that during heat waves, people generally sleep less well and the accumulated fatigue poses a risk for example at work, while driving, and during inspections. Recently due to the severe heat wave affecting many European countries there is talk of a Mediterranean Sea that is overheated and no longer able to sufficiently lower temperatures in the winter months.

The fire fueled by strong gusts of wind and rather dry vegetation reached the city of Marseille in southern France, the second largest in the country, forcing the airport to close and many residents to remain home raises the question of whether the unusually high Mediterranean temperature might have played a role; indeed, recently sea temperatures have reached five degrees Celsius above average in some areas (with a record of twenty-seven degrees on June thirtieth), reducing the nighttime cooling effect along the coasts. Some are making additional considerations regarding the flooding in Texas that has caused over one hundred ten deaths and one hundred seventy missing, as other areas could find themselves in the same conditions still in the absence of alert systems to be used in case of necessity.

Unprecedented temperatures were recorded in June in twelve countries due to intense heat waves affecting nearly eight hundred million people in Europe, Asia, and Africa, from Nigeria to Japan, from Pakistan to Spain. In some countries temperatures are reported to be three degrees above the seasonal average, as occurred in Switzerland, Italy, and the Balkans; then in Korea two degrees above the seasonal average, but records for the month of June and extreme heat are also noted in China with record peaks (sometimes exceeding forty degrees) monitored by weather stations. Overall June ranks second for warming after 2024. It is currently worth noting a heat wave in Greece with temperature peaks of forty-two degrees Celsius, although weather forecasts predict sustained winds bringing somewhat cooler air in the coming days.

According to weather forecasts, flooding is possible in central and eastern areas of the state of North Carolina due to the tropical storm "Chantal" which has now weakened and been downgraded to a tropical depression, then there are also reports of possible isolated tornadoes in South Carolina; meanwhile the death toll from flooding in Texas has risen to over eighty with around ten people missing, devastated areas covered in debris, and there are controversies regarding cuts to the funding allocated to the national weather control center and the lack of a smartphone alert system for weather warnings in the affected counties (which have long been considered vulnerable). Notably shifting attention to Italy there is one victim in Lombardy region due to a wave of bad weather that has also caused damage and disruptions, and there are reports of over twenty-seven thousand lightning strikes in Tuscany region.

There are at least twenty-sven victims and about twenty missing (girls) due to a flooding caused by the Guadalupe river that affected an area in south-central Texas in the Kerr County where summer camps for children and teenagers have been set up as a tradition every year. Intense rainfall during the night raised the level of the Guadalupe river by eight meters in forty-five minutes; authorities sent rescue and missing persons search teams, but some complained about the lack of warnings (which should theoretically have been sent to smartphones alerting people to take cover due to the imminent danger). As regard the California a large fire is consuming the rather dry vegetation in San Luis Obispo County with evacuations occurring on State Route 166 which has been partially closed.

Among the causes of the high temperatures recorded on the Mediterranean coasts with values sometimes well above the averages the question is raised whether the marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean with monitored values in some areas of the sea reaching up to four degrees Celsius higher than the averages may have played a significant role. Climate variations affect all countries bordering the Mediterranean and some cite the example of Turkey recently facing hundreds of fires with casualties and damage and Greece still experiencing fires with evacuations and inconveniences, (then hundreds the victims for the heat in the South of Spain). The European Union proposes to reduce polluting emissions by ninety percent by 2040 to tackle climate change, but there are also discussions around various flexibility formulas to ensure that the countries of the union can achieve these goals.

There are said to be two victims in Spain due to a large fire burning vegetation in Catalonia, fueled by high temperatures, then in Greece there are reports of an uncontrolled fire in Lasithi (Achlia - Crete) with evacuation orders and people being rescued by boats, houses on fire and hotels threatened by flames, with smoke from the fires reaching long distances. Regarding the heat in Italy supported by an African high-pressure system that has been settled over Europe for some time instances of discomfort and heat strokes are multiplying, also leading to victims such as two on the beach in Sardinia and one in Liguria; a region in particular where temperatures in some areas exceed forty-one degrees Celsius and tropical nights above thirty degrees that not favor the body from fully recovering the physical and psychological energy.

There would be at least three victims in Italy due to work-related ailments caused by the heat, with regions like Lazio and Sardinia banning work in fields and construction sites during the hottest hours. There are reports of increased access to emergency rooms by the elderly and in some cases, even deaths. In Veneto there was a landslide on the Alemagna road which had already experienced similar issues recently, then disruptions to train traffic on the Turin-Paris line due to landslides; complaints have also been made about temporary power outages in some areas possibly due to the heavy use of air conditioners. Shifting the attention to Canada to report a local state of emergency declared in British Columbia due to an uncontrolled fire near Lytton, and there are ongoing operations to clear fallen trees in a large park in northeast Ontario that was devastated ten days ago by a storm.

Due to the great heat accumulated from the intense heat wave, localized extreme phenomena have occurred, such as in Bardonecchia in Piedmont region where the Frejus river overflowed causing one death, then there have also been reports of heavy rainfall and gusts of wind, while there is a debate about the collapse of a large advertising sign on a futuristic skyscraper in Milan possibly due to the high temperatures of these days that have weakened the materials. It is worth noting shifting the attention to France that authorities have declared a red alert for Paris due to high temperatures leading to the closure of the upper levels of the Eiffel Tower, restrictions on polluting traffic and speed limitations for vehicles; meanwhile in Spain in Seville road signs are showing temperatures as high as forty-six degrees Celsius, causing significant discomfort for both the local population and tourists.

Numerous fire fronts are affecting the forests near Izmir, Denizli, Aydin, and Manisa in Turkey, with reports of ten residential areas evacuated, especially in the Seferihisar region where high flames are visible even from the Greek islands, with soot reaching, for example, Patmos. Some fires are uncontrollable due to strong winds despite the intervention of many firefighting teams supported by firefighting vehicles. As for Portugal due to the unprecedented heatwave affecting all of Europe temperatures have reached forty-two degrees Celsius in Lisbon and locations in the interior of the country are even approaching fifty degrees perceived. Extreme heat is also present in the Spanish city of Seville complicating matters for tourists, while the entire southern part of the country is grappling with oppressive heat.
