Another round of intense heatwaves this week will sweep through already very arid Europe. It will not only increase the risk of wildfires and threaten crops, but will also further dry up watersheds, which are providing water sources for some European rivers whose water levels have dropped to extremely low levels. The French Meteorological Service predicts that the “heat dome” formed by high pressure will push the temperature in northern France to close to 40 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. According to data from the European Mid-Term Weather Forecast Center, the temperature in southern England may rise to around 35 degrees Celsius, while Frankfurt, Germany may reach 38 degrees Celsius on Friday. This could be Europe's fifth widespread heatwave this year. Continued high-pressure weather may block the entry of cloud systems carrying water vapor, making it difficult for rivers such as the Rhine, Po, and Danube to obtain precipitation supplies.
