Europe Scorch under intense heat waves with temperatures set to soar past 40C | The world of news

Europe is set for severe heat waves with several parts of the continent that will be scorched in 42C heat.

Five territories of Britain have been placed on a warning of hot yellow health until Tuesday, with temperatures regulated to reach 36C on Monday in several parts of the country.

It appears when forest and flood fires have hit the continent this week.

Health services in East Midlands, Southeast, Southwest, London, and East England have been placed on the second highest heat warning, while yellow warnings are valid in Yorkshire and Humber, and West Midlands.

Amber’s previous warning was issued for all regions in the UK on June 19, first used since September 2023.

Elsewhere in Europe, Mercury will reach the 40s, including in the capital of Portugal Lisbon, which will experience a temperature of 42C on Sunday.

In Spain, the Meteorological Agency, Aemet has issued a special heat wave warning for southwest and northeast near Pyrenees, where in some parts it is expected to reach 42C.

Areas in Northern Italy and Sicily have suspended work during the hottest time in the intense heat.

In Nice in South France, the school has been equipped with 250 portable fans to keep the class running.

The public swimming pool on Marseille has been free to be used during the duration of heat waves.

Residents near Athens, Greece were forced to evacuate their homes when forest fires hit several coastal cities.

In addition to the heat waves will be more miserable for Hayfever sufferers, with the expected ‘bomb’ of pollen in the coming days.

The temperature is expected to peak in southern England on Monday when Mercury is expected to reach 36C, while on Sunday and Tuesday 31C is likely.

Meteorologist Ellie Glaisyer said that most British people can expect to wake up for a very warm start on Sundays thanks to low pressure areas that developed from the south.

He said: “This is a very warm day for many of us on Saturdays and the heat will continue to build when we go to the beginning of a new work week.”

On Sundays, a group of clouds and rain will move across the middle of England, before gradually circulating north.

The rain will subside before eventually becomes heavier in the northwest.

The temperature will remain cooler in some parts, with 21C the highest possibility to be achieved in Scotland, and 23C in southwest England.

But outside Tuesday, he will begin to feel much fresher in most of the British regions because the temperature is easy to return to the lower 20s for the rest of this week.

It is possible that the British could break the recorded day’s record in June which was established since 1976 when Mercury reached 35.6C in Southampton.

The official threshold for heat waves is three days in a row -temperature between 25 and 28C, depending on the British area.
