An intense heatwave is sweeping across Europe, with record-breaking temperatures and red alert warnings issued in several countries.
Parts of Spain, France, Greece, Croatia, and Turkey are expected to experience temperatures surpassing 40°C (104°F). Italy, in particular, is bracing for scorching temperatures that could reach as high as 48.8°C (119.8°F), matching the hottest temperature ever recorded in Europe.
The extreme conditions have already claimed a life, with a 44-year-old man reported to have died in Italy due to the heat.
The heatwave is attributed to global warming, as rising average temperatures worldwide contribute to more frequent, intense, and prolonged heatwaves.
Italian politician Nicola Fratoianni described the situation as “unbearable” and emphasized the importance of avoiding sun exposure during peak hours. Authorities are advising people to drink at least two liters of water per day to stay hydrated amidst the extreme heat.
The severity of the heatwave has prompted red alert warnings and increased precautions throughout the affected regions.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
