Europe is experiencing record-breaking temperatures this summer, with several countries reporting all-time highs. France has seen heat-related deaths and widespread chaos as residents scramble for air conditioning. Switzerland recorded its highest temperature ever measured. Greece, including Crete, is part of this broader heatwave pattern affecting the continent. Tourists visiting Crete should expect intense heat, particularly during midday hours.
