Opinion: Europe's summer of heat

Europe is experiencing another severe heatwave, following earlier record-breaking weather this summer. The heat has already caused damage to crops, sparked wildfires, and led to an increase in deaths, according to NPR.

The prolonged heat and drought have also led to a drop in water levels in the Danube River, revealing new sights. Along the river, the remains of an ancient mammoth and Nazi-era relics have emerged, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.

In the Serbian port of Prahovo, dozens of German battleships, believed to have belonged to Nazi Germany's Black Sea fleet, have become visible as the water recedes. Some of these warships still contain unexploded ordnances. The low water levels have also disrupted ship traffic, with large ships unable to pass, according to a resident.
