Pakistan records year’s deadliest heatwave as temperatures soar above 50°C in several regions, triggering power outages and water shortages. Authorities issue health advisories, with hospitals reporting a rise in heat-related illnesses and vulnerable communities urged to seek shelter and hydrated.

In Europe, a rapid-fire series of weather events disrupts transport networks as extreme heat coincides with wildfires forcing evacuations along coastal regions. Firefighters battle blazes near urban outskirts while meteorologists warn of escalating risk in coming days.

Analysts say climate conditions are intensifying the frequency and severity of such events, prompting governments to accelerate adaptation measures, including cooling centers, grid upgrades, and emergency response trainings to reduce future vulnerabilities.
