Extreme Weather Batters Europe and Japan with Deadly Floods and Persistent Heatwaves

Record-breaking rainfall in Japan has caused widespread flooding and at least eight deaths, disrupting holiday travel and stranding thousands at Narita International Airport. Simultaneously, Europe is enduring its fifth major heatwave of the summer, affecting 300 million people with temperatures exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This extreme heat has led to severe drought, wildfires, and forced Romania to shut down a nuclear reactor due to critically low Danube River levels.
