欧洲在八月初遭遇第五次热穹顶现象，西欧和中欧地区广泛面临40°C以上的极端高温[1]。这一热穹顶由强大的高气压脊驱动，将影响法国、英国、意大利、中欧和巴尔干半岛等广大区域[1]。
根据气象预报，此次热浪的温度峰值达到40-43°C[1]。其中法国周四至周五将达40-43°C[1]，西班牙南中部同期温度为42-44°C[1]，英国周四高温预计达36-39°C[1]，德国和比利时周五至周六达36-40°C[1]，意大利和巴尔干地区周末达38-40°C[1]。
此次热浪造成严重的生理压力，夜间气温仅下降至22-26°C[1]，难以给人体和环境带来缓解。预报的高温异常值处于第99百分位[1]，电网需求也因此大幅激增[1]。
Europe faces its fifth consecutive heat dome in early August, with Western and Central regions bracing for extreme temperatures driven by a powerful high-pressure ridge.[1] Peak temperatures are forecast to reach 40–43°C across the affected areas, while nighttime lows will remain dangerously elevated at 22–26°C, creating severe physiological stress and surging electricity grid demand.[1]
The heat wave will progressively sweep across the continent over the coming days.[1] France is expected to experience temperatures of 40–43°C from Thursday through Friday, while southern and central Spain will see even higher readings of 42–44°C during the same period.[1] The United Kingdom will face highs of 36–39°C on Thursday, followed by Germany and Belgium reaching 36–40°C by Friday and Saturday.[1] Italy and the Balkan region will record temperatures between 38–40°C over the weekend.[1] According to forecasts, these temperature extremes rank at the 99th percentile for anomalies in the affected regions.[1]
