- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Multiple European regions are experiencing a transition from intense heat to unstable weather characterized by thunderstorms and cold fronts. In Hungary, a heatwave will continue through Sunday with temperatures reaching between 33 and 36 degrees Celsius, followed by a cold front on Monday that will bring showers and thunderstorms. By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to drop to between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius during the day.
In Spain, ten autonomous communities are on alert this Monday for high temperatures and storms with hail. Maximum temperatures may exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the valleys of the Guadalquivir and Tajo, with Ourense expected to reach 40 degrees and Badajoz, Cáceres, and Córdoba expected to reach 39 degrees. Strong wind gusts are predicted for Extremadura, Castilla La Mancha, the Betic systems, and the Pyrenees.
Italy is also seeing a shift after weeks of heat. Thunderstorms are expected on the Alps and Prealps starting Sunday, with further perturbations arriving on Monday in Northern Italy. While Tuesday and Wednesday may bring a return of sun and a drop in temperatures to seasonal averages, more strong thunderstorms are forecast for the center and north starting Thursday, August 20, which are expected to end the oppressive heat.
