Drowning deaths soar in #France as #Europe buckles in peak of #heatwave

"France, along with Spain and Italy, have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
France saw its hottest June day on record on Monday and its hottest ever night on Monday night, with a minimum average of 21.6C according to Météo France, and with well over half the country on red alert.

"Meanwhile, in #Spain temperatures are set to peak above 40C in some areas, with red alerts in Andalusia in the south, and Cantabria and the Basque Country in the north, on the third day of a national heatwave.

"Spain is more exposed to the effects of #ClimateChange than almost any other European country. State weather service Aemet says June heatwaves are becoming increasingly common, with 10 recorded in mainland Spain between 2000 and 2025, and just two in the previous 25 years.

"And in Italy, a red heatwave alert has been declared in 15 cities, including Rome, Milan, Florence, Turin and Venice. The alert signals conditions that can pose health risks even to healthy adults, not just the elderly or chronically ill. France's sports minister said too many people were trying to cool off in rivers and canals without necessarily taking the risks into account."

Record for hottest May night broken in UK, while daytime temperature could hit 35C (95F)

26 May 2026

"It's official: England and Wales have seen their hottest-ever May days today - breaking records set just yesterday. The Met Office says that 35.1C was recorded in Kew Gardens, in London, with Cardiff's Bute Park seeing 32.9C.

"Ireland, too broke its May day record as temperatures at Shannon Airport edged into the 30s, with Met Éireann issuing yellow heat warnings across a number of counties into Wednesday.

"There's been little respite overnight, either, as restless sleepers in Kenley, London, saw 21.3C recorded last night.

"But this is the UK, so some areas are still chilly: In Shetland, tourists disembarking from a cruise ship were delighted by the sunny, 11C weather they found there.

"The extreme - and rare - heat, brought about by a so called '#HeatDome' that is encasing western Europe, is a sign of the fast-changing climate. Five days into the exceptional temperatures, NHS urgent care doctors are reporting more older patients in need of assistance. Calls to 999 are also ticking up.

"Elsewhere, authorities are warning bathers to be careful near water after four people died at English swimming spots over the bank holiday weekend.

"Fruit and vegetable farmers have warned that the heat is impacting crops, meaning they have to plan for how the changing climate affects their operations."

I suspect those of us who are “skeptical” about AI feel this way for just a few reasons. Many of us are creative types, (professionals & hobbyists), who are in danger of our art being stolen to feed the beast. Most of us are committed to #ClimateCrisis mitigation efforts, which are at absolute odds with the necessary resources used for the beast. Many of us are, or have been, long-time tech specialists who see the gross imperfections/errors now masquerading as “data,” as produced by the beast. And…some of us have the prescience to recognize the doorstep of Armageddon in AI warfare.
