A severe heatwave has gripped Europe, with temperatures reaching 40°C in several countries. The British Red Cross has responded by deploying cool-down stations across UK cities to assist vulnerable populations. The stations provide water, shade, and medical aid to those affected by the extreme conditions.
Authorities have issued health warnings, advising the public to stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities during peak hours. The heatwave, attributed to a high-pressure system, is expected to persist for several more days, raising concerns for public health and infrastructure.
