Southern Europe swelters under deadly heatwave as temperatures pass 40C | France

Since scientists warn the “Molotov cocktail ıs of the climatic conditions that fueled large fires in the Mediterranean, the deadly temperature up to 44C plays Southern Europe.

This week, in Florence, 40C temperatures were expected, a four -year -old child died of heat hit, and a red warning warning was given for seven large cities, including Bologna and Florence.

The child was found unconscious in his family’s car in Sardinia and was sent to a Roman hospital a few days ago, but died of irreversible brain damage on Monday.

The weather of France placed more than half of the country under hot fluctuation warnings on Monday morning, 12 out of the 96 administrative unit in the mainland under the highest red warning, Spain’s aemet, Zaragoza and Basque country, “extreme danger”, warned for the rest of the country for the rest of the country.

Both air agencies estimate the temperatures of over 40C in the coming days and called for alertness among a “very busy, even extraordinary” heat wave forecasts in some parts of the continent.

Firefighters worried high temperatures experts while struggling to include destructive forest fires. In France, which has been checking the biggest fire since 1949, the authorities reported that a person died in a fire and that 20 firefighters and five civilians were injured.

In the Balkans, Croatian officials praised the “superhuman” efforts of the firefighters, while Serbian meteorologists warned fires to develop temperatures up to 40C, while the Croatian officials made a big fire near Split. According to local media reports, fires in Albania and Montenegro forced people to escape their homes.

In Spain, on Sunday, the fires exploding in León and Zamora forced more than 1000 people to escape from their homes, while big fires continued to burn in Galicia.

Cristina Santín Nuño, a fire scientist at the Spanish National Research Council, said that a wet spring, which helps to grow plants, should be “expected” after extreme heat, powerful winds and rainy long -free long periods.

“If we add a relatively easy possibility that a spark can fire a fire in one place.

French estimators, temperatures in the southwestern 42C as they pass on Monday and Tuesday will break the heat records, he said. The temperatures broke a 41.4C record in the village of Tourbes near Béziers at the weekend.

In Spain, on Monday, temperatures were expected to increase in the Ebro Basin, one -third of the Iberian Peninsula and the Eastern Cantabrian Sea. Especially in Galicia, they were estimated to fall in the northwest.

Air Agency, Monday, the Iberian Peninsula in the interior of the 37-39C heat awaits, in the inside of the countryside over 40C maximum temperature and lower Guadalquivir’de 44C heights waiting for the temperature of the heights, he said.

Jesú Santiago Del Pino, a landlorder of the University of La Laguna, said that the conditions of “excessive and long heat” conditions have prepared a large number of fires throughout the country.

“The areas in the central and northwest, for example, theoretically, the theoretically less prone areas are burning. This pays attention to me.”

The Earth was warmed by about 1.4C due to fossil fuel pollution due to the destruction of nature that sucking carbon dioxide from air.

In Europe, which is almost twice as fast as the global average, a warm and dry air mass hanging in most of the Iberian peninsula and most of France coincided with high summer sunlight, which further raises temperatures.

In addition to the risk for people from flame and smoke, the fires in Spain threatened the Las Médulas World Heritage field in El Bierzo.

Santín Nuño from El Bierzo said, “Personally, it is a sad day for me,” he said. “Las Médulas burned there, a beautiful place with centuries -old chestnut trees and UNESCO World Heritage site.”

“In Spain, we are faced with a new reality of forest fires because our landscapes have changed a lot in recent years – there are more vegetation -sensitive vegetation – and now climate change creates more opportunities for these landscapes to burn in a wider, intense and dangerous way.”
