The European continent is in the crosshairs of climate change: it is facing a heat wave in the coming days, during which temperatures will reach 40 degrees Celsius in several regions.

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arabia Weather -</strong> Weather forecasters at the Arabia Weather Center said that the latest readings from advanced computer simulations indicate that the European continent will be affected by a heat wave in which temperatures will reach 40 levels in European regions in light of extremely hot summer weather.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>A heat wave hits the European continent, with temperatures reaching forty levels in Scandinavia and Turkey</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Meteorological specialists at the Arabia Weather Center said that in the coming period, large countries of the European continent will be exposed to an exhausting heat wave, especially the southeast of the European continent, resulting from the rush of a hot air mass from the African Sahara, causing a heat wave that will bring an extremely stressful and hot atmosphere. According to the processed weather maps, the weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center monitors the extension of the heat wave throughout the week, including the Scandinavian countries and Turkey, so that maximum temperatures reach approximately 40 degrees Celsius and may exceed that in some areas in light of the extremely hot atmosphere that dominates the atmosphere of the European continent. . </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/030-42220B0FA5.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 475px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The heat wave includes Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, with generally hot weather, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-thirties in the capital, Madrid, and some low-lying areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%B3-%D9%84%D... conditions and temperatures in Madrid for the coming days</strong></a></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>What is the reason for the increase in heat waves on the European continent recently?</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Experts said that the recent worsening of heat waves in Europe is due to several interconnected factors, including:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Climate change:</strong> Rising global temperatures lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Changing atmospheric patterns:</strong> such as increasing the frequency of high atmospheric pressure that traps hot air.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Persistent drought:</strong> Lack of rainfall leads to drying of the soil and plants, which increases the temperature of the earth.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Urbanization:</strong> Increases heat absorption and global warming in urban areas, and global warming resulting from human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%B3-%D9%84%D... conditions and temperatures in Istanbul in the coming days</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows.</p>
