Five deaths in northern China and Maysak's landfall in Vietnam and Guangxi reveal how separate weather hazards converge into one public-safety crisis.

As temperatures climb well above seasonal norms across the continent, meteorologists point to a heat dome trapping hot air and straining health services, transport and energy networks.

Extreme temperatures across the continent have moved beyond a weather story into a wider safety crisis, with dozens of heat-related deaths, school closures and warnings that Britain could see record June heat.

The UK Health Security Agency has warned of health risks across London, the South East and parts of eastern and central England as temperatures climb, with older and unwell people most at risk.
