PARIS: At least 193 million people across Europe are expected to experience temperatures above 35 C on Saturday, AFP calculations found, up from Friday as the heatwave was set to shift eastwards.

Germany is expected to be among the hardest hit, with some 82 million people forecast to see temperatures above 30 C on Saturday, including 75 million facing temperatures exceeding 35 C.

In Hungary, more than nine million people -- nearly the entire country -- are expected to swelter in temperatures above 35 C.

Some 404 million people across Europe (excluding Turkey) will experience temperatures above 30 C -- a slight dip from the day before, according to the analysis.

On Friday, at least 150 million people were forecast to experience temperatures above 35 C, while 420 million were expected to see temperatures above 30 C.

Britain, France, Spain, and Switzerland have all broken temperature records during the heatwave, with the high temperatures now expected to affect large parts of Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Austria, among others.

In France, temperatures are expected to exceed 35 C for some 26 million people across the country, down from the previous day.

AFP's analysis, based on forecasts from the German Meteorological Service and 2025 population projections from the Joint Research Centre, is in line with figures from Austrian NGO Klimadashboard.
