      summer on record in Europe since at least 1540.[1] France was hit

      parts of Southern Europe. Peer-reviewed analysis places the

      was recorded in late summer, partly a result of the western
      European seasonal lag from the maritime influence of the Atlantic
      warm waters in combination with hot continental air and strong
