40°C and counting: Europe was built to beat the cold. Now heatwave is exposing its biggest weakness

Europe, once crafted to stay warm during harsh winters, now grapples with a grim new challenge: relentless heatwaves. Buildings that sheltered against frosty temperatures have turned into sweltering traps, revealing a serious flaw in adapting to intense summer heat.

Every year, heat claims an average of 175,000 lives across Europe, according to the World Health Organization...
