A severe heatwave is disrupting daily life and transport in parts of Europe. In Belgium, a nationwide heat alert was issued as temperatures were expected to reach or exceed 35 degrees Celsius from June 24. Rising temperatures have forced the national railway operator to cancel about 100 trains a day to avoid potential breakdowns and passenger discomfort, as older trains have no air conditioning. In western Germany, temperatures could climb close to 40 degrees Celsius, with residents seeking relief along the Rhine River. The prolonged heat is also raising water temperatures in the Rhine and the Moselle, adding pressure on fish and river ecosystems.
