Europe is experiencing a persistent heatwave, with meteorologists in Germany tracking a pattern where heat briefly eases but quickly returns. According to meteorologist Dominik Jung, temperatures in Germany could reach 30 degrees Celsius or more by next weekend. The heatwave is also affecting other parts of Europe, including Spain and France, where temperatures are expected to reach up to 45 degrees Celsius in some regions.

In Greece, the first heatwave of the summer is expected to bring temperatures up to 42 degrees Celsius in areas such as Thessaly, Phthiotis, and Central Macedonia. The National Meteorological Service has issued warnings for extreme heat, with temperatures expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in Attica.

A survey by the European Travel Commission (ETC) reveals that while travel interest is growing in Europe, the Baltic states are being left out. Meanwhile, the Algarve in Portugal has been ranked as the cheapest European holiday destination, attracting budget-conscious travelers.

In Cyprus, the Pasta Flavours event is bringing workshops, tastes, and music to Larnaca, offering immersive experiences and local flavors. The event is one of many cultural festivals happening across Europe this summer.

In Estonia, the Ostrova festival in Setomaa is a major summer event, bringing people together from all over the country. The festival features music, dance, and cultural performances, showcasing the rich heritage of the region.
