Projections indicate that at least 191 million Europeans will face temperatures reaching at least 35C this Sunday. According to estimates by AFP, this extreme heat is expected to be particularly severe across Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.<\/p>\n
Data analysis, which relies on weather forecasts from the German Meteorological Service combined with 2025 population data provided by the Joint Research Centre and the Austrian non-governmental organization Klimadashboard, suggests that 381 million people across the continent\u2014excluding Turkey\u2014will experience temperatures climbing above 30C.<\/p>\n
Much of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary are anticipated to see thermometers exceed 35C on Sunday. A similar situation is expected for roughly 42 million individuals throughout Germany, with the Berlin region noted as a particular area of concern. Other nations set to be affected include Italy, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Austria, and parts of western Ukraine.<\/p>\n
In mainland France, approximately 11 million people are projected to be impacted, though officials expected the existing red weather alerts to be lifted by Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
To arrive at these figures, analysts utilized a methodology mirroring that of Klimadashboard, which involves cross-referencing population density data with the 0300 GMT weather model generated by Germany’s DWD. Under this criteria, an area is included in the count if the model predicts temperatures will reach the 30C or 35C thresholds at any moment during the day.<\/p>\n
David Jablonski of Klimadashboard noted that because the model operates within a range of approximately 6.5 kilometres (4 miles), it cannot fully capture localized urban heat islands. Consequently, the organization acknowledges on its European Heat Tracker platform that their analysis likely results in an underestimation of the total number of people experiencing these high temperatures in densely populated urban environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
