Have wildfires and heatwaves changed holidays in Europe for good

Today Explains

About this episode

Unprecedented heatwaves and rampant wildfires are fundamentally altering the European summer holiday, forcing a permanent shift in how, when, and where people travel across the continent. The summer of 2026 has already shattered meteorological records in several European countries, leaving traditional tourism hotspots at a critical breaking point. Driven by human-induced climate change, intense fire-weather conditions have more than doubled in areas like the Iberian Peninsula, France, Italy, and Greece, destroying the old guarantee of reliable, predictable summer sunshine.
