Austria's highest temperature hits 40.8°C
Austria recorded a new temperature record of 40.8°C in Vienna, surpassing the previous high of 40.5°C set in 2013. This rise occurs during an extraordinary period of hot weather and drought, as the country experienced its fourth warmest July since records began, with rainfall reductions of up to 90% in some areas. Additionally, the early high temperatures caused apricots to ripen about 20 days earlier than usual, indicating the impacts of climate change. The heatwave and drought crisis in Europe have been renewed this summer, with record temperatures recorded in several regions, reflecting the worsening effects of climate change on the environment and agricultural yields.
