Placeholder while article actions loadScorching temperatures have again swept across parts of Europe, with many locations in Italy among those setting June or all-time records for heat. The record temperatures are spawned from desert air traveling from the African continent, which has brought excessive heat from Algeria to the Arctic Circle.

India and Pakistan also experienced record heat in March and April, which researchers found were 30 times as likely to occur because of climate change.
