  "summary": "Severe heatwave across Europe causing school closures, travel disruption, lightning strikes and record-breaking temperatures",
  "why_now": "Synoptic weather patterns produced a concentrated spike in temperature anomalies; meteorological warnings and observed impacts drove rapid reporting and public-response measures.",
  "evidence_summary": "- The Guardian reports Europe heatwave with London forecast to hit 38C and hottest nights in France since records began. - BBC covers regional impacts including lightning strikes, school closures and travel delays as the West Country faces extreme heat. - Bloomberg documents extreme heat shutting schools and causing flash floods that disrupt trains and local services.",
  "caveat": "High confidence in current impact reporting; duration and secondary effects (e.g., fires, long-term infrastructure damage) depend on persistence of the heat pattern.",
