This infoclip illustrates extreme heat in Europe through footage filmed in Brussels (Belgium) and Athens (Greece) during the summer heatwaves. It opens at the Royal Meteorological Institute in Brussels, where weather monitoring instruments and forecasters at work show how heatwaves are tracked across EU weather maps. In Brussels, residents adapt to the high temperatures: apartment windows covered with tinfoil, pharmacy thermometers reading +38°C, cold drinks, and people cooling off in public water fountains. In Athens, the footage shows public spaces in the summer heat and tourists visiting the Acropolis under high temperatures.
