'Unprecedented' alerts in #France as blistering #heat grips #Europe
Kathryn Armstrong, BBC News, June 30, 2025
Excerpt: "The highest UK temperature of the day was recorded at Heathrow Airport in London at 33.1C. Meanwhile, Wimbledon recorded a temperature of 32.9C, the tennis tournament's hottest opening day on record.
"Meanwhile, heat alerts across #Spain, which is on course to record its hottest June on record, remained in place.
" 'I can't sleep well and have insomnia. I also get heat strokes, I stop eating and I just can't focus,' Anabel Sanchez, 21, told Reuters news agency in Seville.
"It is a similar situation in #Portugal, where seven districts, including the capital, Lisbon, are on the highest alert level.
"In #Germany, the country's meteorological service warned that temperatures could reach almost 38C on Tuesday and Wednesday - further potentially record-breaking temperatures.
"The #heatwave lowered levels in the #RhineRiver - a major shipping route - limiting the amount cargo ships can transport and raising freighting costs.
"Countries in and around the #Balkans have also been struggling with the intense heat, although temperatures have begun to cool.
"In #Turkey, rescuers evacuated more than 50,000 people - mostly from the resort city of Izmir in the country's west - as firefighters continued to put out hundreds of wildfires that had broken out in recent days.
"The fires were fuelled by winds of 120km/h (75 mph) and destroyed at least 20 homes.
"Wildfires also broke out in #Croatia, where red heat warnings are in place for coastal areas. An extreme temperature alert was issued for neighbouring #Montenegro."

#rhineriver hike day 10
Well, my holidays are coming to an end, so this is the last one for now.
Finished with a relaxing morning hike with a cousin from Steckborn to Stein am Rhein, where we had lunch among beautiful medieval buildings. With this, I reached the end of Lake Constance and am at the very beginning of the High Rhine towards Basel, but that will be for the next holidays.
All in all I managed to hike 245 km, so about one fifth of the total river. Looking forward to walking the rest 🙂.

Wisdom of the day:
When ducks swim on your path
look for a different way
I was too slow for a picture of the ducks, but here's a picture of the pond, err, I mean path.
