What this page shows
High-temperature warnings issued by each country's national weather service and published through MeteoAlarm, the warning network of EUMETNET. A warning counts as in force until its own expiry time, and when a service updates a warning only the newest version is shown. Thresholds are set by each service for its own climate, so the same level can mean different numbers in different countries. This site does not issue warnings: follow your national weather service and local authorities.

What is a heat warning?
A warning from a national weather service that temperatures will be high enough to harm health, usually set by local thresholds for the day's maximum and the night's minimum. A temperature that is normal in Seville can be a warning in Dublin, so levels are set country by country, and often area by area.

When are heat warnings issued in Europe?
Mostly from June to September, with early heat in May and late heat into October in the south. Outside summer this page is often empty; that is the right answer, not a fault.
Why is a heat warning I saw elsewhere missing here?
This site stores warnings rated Moderate (Yellow) and above, and some services issue some Yellow warnings as Minor. Health heat alerts, such as the UK's heat-health alerts, are separate from weather warnings. meteoalarm.org and the national weather service are always the reference.
