It blamed the death by rain on the heat.
Several deaths have occurred as a result of the heat, including a woman in the Italian Alps whose car was washed down a mountain after the heatwave triggered storms.

But your claim that the article's statement that the heatwave across parts of Europe is triggering storms, is weak, must be based on some scientific knowledge or insight....surely?

Does it never rain in Europe unless there is a heat wave?

Of course it does, but we are not discussing the frequency of rain; we are discussing your basis for claiming that it is a weak position to state that a heatwave has triggered storms...

I am saying blaming the storm on the heat is weak since it could have stormed anyhow.

Have you never read up on weather at school, how increased heat energy will increase the likelihood of storm activity. For someone who claims to have been a teacher, you don't seem to be very well informed on the basics.
