NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - Two months ago, France experienced its hottest May on record, with record highs in some cities. Last month, France was blistered again, by a spring heatwave that also affected Spain, Italy and other countries. Then, this month, Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe suffered during a spell of extreme heat.

And there are still two months of summer left.
