A heatwave is challenging Europe this summer, pushing travelers to rethink itineraries and protect health while exploring iconic cities. From Paris to Barcelona, heat records are driving smarter planning. Research from European meteorological centers and health authorities stresses hydration, indoor breaks, and seeking shade or cooling whenever possible.

Thai travelers should anticipate areas where air conditioning is less common and temperatures spike for days at a stretch. Data from climate research groups indicates prolonged heat events in major cities, while public health bodies urge avoiding strenuous activity during peak sun hours. As heatwaves become more frequent, adaptable plans and reliable cooling options matter more than ever.

A new study led by researchers at the University of Leicester shows that some of the largest flying reptiles, pterosaurs, spent far more time on the ground than scientists previously believed. By examining fossilized footprints attributed to Quetzalcoatlus, a giant with a wingspan up to 10 meters, researchers have enriched our understanding of how these creatures lived alongside dinosaurs. The findings help Thai readers connect global paleontology with Southeast Asia’s own ancient landscape, enriching Earth history education in Thailand.

A groundbreaking study led by researchers at the University of Leicester has revealed that some of the largest creatures ever to soar the prehistoric skies, the pterosaurs, spent far more time on the ground than previously thought. Through extensive examination of fossilised tracks attributed to the giant Quetzalcoatlus, with wingspans reaching up to 10 metres (32 feet), scientists have now painted a richer picture of the behaviour and lifestyle of these flying reptiles that coexisted with dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago (BBC News).
