Was that #ClimateChange ? Scientists ponder a deadly July 4 weekend
by Dinah Voyles Pulver, USA TODAY Jul 8, 2026
"Early July brought historic #ExtremeWeather for the fourth year in a row, and scientists again see the 'fingerprints' of climate change in a deadly Fourth of July.
"In 2023, it was a record-smashing #HeatWave. In 2024, history-making #HurricaneBeryl ripped through the Caribbean. In 2025, a shockingly deadly #flood. And in 2026? Another deadly #heatwave.
"Days later, the heat warnings have finally faded for much of the eastern United States, but the grim number of heat-related deaths continues to rise.
"At least 44 deaths have been reported as a result of the July 1 to July 4 heat wave, but it will be weeks or months before researchers finalize an estimate of the number of people who died or suffered injuries as a result of the extreme heat.
"More than 1,300 heat records were matched or broken for maximum high temperatures and warm overnight lows across 40 states and territories over the four days.
"Though summer heat isn't new, the heat wave of July 2026 is something different.
"From June 29 to July 5, 201 million Americans experienced at least one day when climate change made high temperatures at least three times more likely, #ShelWinkley, chief meteorologist at #ClimateCentral, told USA TODAY. Temperatures on July 3 had 'a very strong fingerprint of climate change,' he said, affecting 136 million Americans."

‘Mind-bogglingly crazy’: #Europe’s deadly, early #heatwave is smashing records
There have been “seven deaths directly or indirectly linked to the heat, including at least five from drowning, as well as deaths related to extreme heat during sports events,” Maud Bregeon, a French government spokesperson, told French TV network TF1.
By Laura Paddison, CNN
Published May 27, 2026"Temperature records are being smashed across Europe as parts of the continent swelter in a heat wave that is bringing extreme temperatures alarmingly early in the year.
"The continent is grappling with a powerful heat dome, a persistent high-pressure system which acts like a lid on a pot, trapping hot air and pushing it downward. It can remain in place for days or even weeks and is a weather phenomenon made more likely and more intense by human-caused climate change.
"On Monday, the UK endured its hottest May day on record, with temperatures spiking to 34.8 degrees Celsius (94.6 Fahrenheit) at #KewGardens in London, breaking the previous record by 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit). Usually heat records are broken by only fractions of a degree.
"Then, on Tuesday, the record was broken again, as temperatures soared to 35 degrees (95 Fahrenheit). The average high temperature for London in late May is around 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
"As the heat climbed Monday, a wildfire broke out near #ArthursSeat, a hill in #EdinburghScotland, and hundreds of properties in southeast England were left without #water as demand spiked.
"There was little respite overnight for the UK, which experienced a 'tropical night' where temperatures didn’t fall below 20 degrees (68 Fahrenheit).
"These temperatures may not sound extreme but are very uncomfortable — even dangerous — in the UK, where most houses are not insulated well enough to keep out heat and only around 5% of homes have air conditioning. A report last week from the UK’s Climate Change Committee warned the UK was 'built for a climate that no longer exists.' "
