Storms in Belgium and Record Heat in Europe
Expect unsettled weather this afternoon with risks of storms across the country, as Europe faces record temperatures. Furthermore, safety is at the heart of the news with a deadly plane crash in France and an intensification of strikes in the Ukrainian conflict.
You will need to remain vigilant this afternoon due to a risk of local storms and showers over part of Belgium. This instability comes as an extreme heatwave hits our neighbors: France has already recorded a thousand additional deaths, primarily affecting seniors, while Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic broke their temperature records this Sunday.
Also in France, aviation safety is in mourning following a plane crash near Nancy, which killed 11 people during a skydiving initiation (a first supervised jump for beginners). The accident occurred shortly after takeoff late this morning.
The security risk is also intensifying in the East after Ukrainian drones struck two refineries in Russia. In response, Vladimir Putin promised to ensure his country's security, while Kyiv's defenses had to intercept more than a hundred Russian missiles and drones in a single night.
Finally, concern is growing for the victims of the double earthquake in Venezuela, where the death toll has now reached 1,450.
