PARIS (AFP)

At least 193 million people across Europe, including around 75 million in Germany, are expected to experience temperatures above 35 °C on Saturday, AFP calculations found, up from Friday as the heatwave was set to shift eastwards.

Maximum temperatures are forecast to exceed 30 °C for more than 404 million people in Europe (excluding Turkey), a slight dip from Friday.

AFP's analysis, based on forecasts from the German Meteorological Service and 2025 population projections from the Joint Research Centre, is in line with figures from Austrian NGO Klimadashboard.
