The European Commission’s headquarters was forced to shut down its air-conditioning system on Friday due to the heat wave.
Staff working at the Berlaymont building received a text at midday, reading: “BERL — URGENT — Due to extreme weather conditions, forced shut down of air cooling system from floor 1 to 7 for the rest of the day.”
The 13-story building is home to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, her 26 commissioners and about 3,000 staff. Von der Leyen works on the 13th floor, and most of her commissioners’ offices are housed on floors eight or above.

Just booked a trip to Spain second week of July. Did I make a mistake? Apparently there's another big heat wave coming around that time :(

Wineries here in northern Spain have brought the grape harvest forward by a month due to the heat this past summer... I’m going to visit a couple of them in October to see what their take on the situation is.
That said, they are talking about a very good harvest...
