What are the immediate impacts of the 2025 European heatwaves, particularly in urban areas, and how significant are these impacts?

2025 saw multiple consecutive heatwaves across Europe, with urban areas experiencing significantly more intense effects due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The UHI effect raises temperatures in cities by 2-4°C compared to rural areas, impacting nearly 40% of Europe's population. A Portuguese study showed an 18.9% increase in hospital admissions during heatwaves.

What are the immediate consequences of Iran's ongoing heatwave and drought on public services and daily life?

Due to a severe heatwave, authorities in 16 of Iran's 31 provinces, including Tehran, closed on August 6th. This follows weeks of reduced working hours and additional weekly closures for government offices and banks, amid temperatures reaching 52°C in the southwest. The heatwave is expected to last another five days, exacerbating existing water shortages.", A2="The closures are a direct consequence of a prolonged drought affecting Iran for five years, resulting in unprecedented low rainfall in Tehran. This has severely impacted Tehran's water resources, leading to reduced water pressure for its 15 million residents and depletion of all rivers and water sources within a 100km radius. The situation highlights decades of mismanagement and unsustainable urban development.", A3="Iran's current water crisis reflects a long-term failure to address unsustainable population growth and climate change.
