Heatwave intensifies, warnings of heat-related deaths in several European countries

Arab Weather - Large areas of western and central Europe will witness a strong heat wave in the coming days, which is expected to raise temperatures to scorching levels in many major European cities, amid warnings of the health effects associated with high temperatures.

Weather forecasts indicate that temperatures will significantly exceed their usual averages, with the possibility of reaching or exceeding the 40-degree Celsius mark in several regions, particularly in France and Spain, while the hot weather will extend to parts of Britain, including the capital, Rome.

This heat wave is expected to increase health risks, especially for the elderly and people with chronic diseases, as rates of heat stress and health complications usually rise during periods of extreme heat, prompting authorities in some countries to issue warnings and preventive guidelines to the population.

In contrast, the Levant remains far from the effects of heat waves during the current period, as the weather continues to be normal summer weather to relatively moderate in most areas, with temperatures close to their usual averages for this time of year, thanks to the continued influence of moderate air currents on the region.

And God knows best.
