Austria's Wels reports July heat record
Austria recorded a new temperature record for July, reaching 40.3°C in the city of Völkermarkt, surpassing the previous record by 0.2°C. This heatwave occurs within the context of two intense heatwaves since the beginning of summer and has caused economic damages estimated at around 1.4 billion euros. Weather experts attribute the rising temperatures to the dominance of hot air masses from southwestern Europe, along with a greenhouse effect driven by human activity that is believed to be the primary cause of the phenomenon. The current heatwave is expected to surpass the previous record set in 2013, with warnings about widespread repercussions including increased drought, the risk of forest fires, and damage to infrastructure and residents.
