2025 European heatwaves
From April to September 2025, parts of Europe were affected by multiple heatwaves. Record-breaking temperatures came as early as April; however, the most extreme temperatures began in mid-June, when experts estimated hundreds of heat-related deaths in the United Kingdom alone. National records for the maximum June temperature in both Portugal and Spain were broken when temperatures surpassed 46 °C (115 °F), whilst regional records were also broken in at least ten other countries. The heatwaves have fueled numerous wildfires across Europe, causing further damage to ecosystems, property, human life and air quality.
Scientists found that by 18 September, around 16,500 people may have died as a result of climate change during the summer, equating to about 68% of deaths in the heatwave due to global warming. In September, the national weather agency for Spain announced that the summer had been the hottest on record, averaging 24.2 °C (75.6 °F) between 1 June and 31 August.
In mid-April, Albania was one of many countries in central and eastern Europe to be hit by unseasonably warm temperatures, with Tirana forecasted to reach 28 °C (82 °F).
On 9 June, a temperature of 37.6 °C (99.7 °F) was recorded in Tirana as much of the Balkans reached 37 °C (99 °F).
On 26 June, the record for the maximum June temperature in the state of Carinthia was broken after 38.3 °C (100.9 °F) was recorded in Feistritz ob Bleiburg; the June records for a number of individual weather stations were also broken.
In mid-April, Belarus was one of many countries in central and eastern Europe to be hit by unseasonably warm temperatures.
On 3 July, temperatures were forecasted to reach 35 °C (95 °F) in the southwest, including Brest, as an orange danger level was declared across the country.
On 26 June, the records for the maximum June temperature were broken in three cities: Doboj, Sarajevo and Tuzla which recorded 38.2 °C (100.8 °F), 38.8 °C (101.8 °F) and 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) respectively. Railway tracks between Vrbanja and Čelinac were deformed by the heat, causing the suspension of ŽRS services.
