Scorching European heatwave turns deadly in Spain, Italy and France

Two dead people were found by firefighters who are treating a fire in the Catalonia region of Spain on Tuesday, where Europe carries incendiary temperatures during the ongoing heat wave.

In a statement, the Catalan authorities said that the bodies were found after the firefighters extinguished a fire in the Torifita area, near the city of Cosco.

The French media reported that the 10 -year -old American tourist is visiting the Versailles Palace died after it fell.

Earlier, the country’s environmental minister said that two heat -related deaths were recorded in France, adding that more than 300 people were treated by firefighters on Tuesday.

The European continent is witnessing very high temperatures, a phenomenon that the United Nations Climate Agency said it has become more frequent due to “human climate change.”

As the French broadcaster TF1 stated, a 10 -year -old child collapsed in the Royal Dowdon, in front of her parents, at approximately 18:00 local time on Tuesday. Despite the efforts made by the security team in the castle and emergency services, her death announced an hour later.

For Spain and England, June celebrated the latest in June since the start of the records. The weather service in Spain, AEMET, said that the average temperature of last month is 23.6 degrees Celsius (74.5f) “crushed records”, bypassing the regular average of July and August.

Firefighters worked throughout Tuesday night in Catalonia to determine the vicinity of both Torrefeta and Florejacs fires, according to the firefighting service in the region.

In a statement on Wednesday, the firefighting service said that their efforts focused on constructing the ocean, extinguishing fires in the buildings, and excluding any other victims.

As of 22:37 local time on Tuesday (21:37 GMT), the emergency services in Catalonia have proven that they are working in an ocean with a length of about 6,500 hectares, or about 40 km (25 miles).

According to Spanish media reports, the two people who were killed in the fire were in Koscow, the owner of a farm and worker. The couple ranged between 32 and 45.

Firefighters said that they found the two bodies “without life” when treating the fire. The regional president of Catalonia, Salvador Ella, said he would visit the region.

The Spanish predictable AEMET expects that on Wednesday to witness levels higher than 41 degrees Celsius in Córdoba, a city in southern Spain.

The Minister of Environmental Transition in France, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, said that the two loyalty in her country were the result of a “heat-related disease.”

This comes at a time when France recorded the second best in June since the records began in 1900.

Four sections in France remain at the red alert level, which is the highest level. These include AUIBE, Cher, Loiret and Yonne, according to the country’s weather service, Meteo France.

The forecast predicts some storms in parts of eastern France, with a height of 37 ° C in Metz in the northeast.

In Italy, a 75 -year -old man died in Bodoni, Sardinia, after falling due to the intense heat. Another man, 60, was injured by the disease while he was on Levosto Beach in San Tudoro. Emergency services tried to save both men without success.

The temperatures in the region exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in the last days.

Also in the Mediterranean country, two construction workers in Tezze Sul Brenta, in Vicenza Province, were transferred to the hospital at 15:30 local time on Tuesday because they were ill as heat while working in a hole.

One of the workers in a coma, according to the Italian news agency ANSA reports, which stated that he had been revived, gave up and transferred to San Passiano Hospital by helicopters.

Dimbel Rana, a thundering and local climate specialist in the ARUP, told the BBC that there is a “great link between influence and heat age.”

In the United Kingdom, for example, most of the heat -related deaths were among the elderly, Ms. Rana said. Young children, especially those under the age of five, were also in danger.

Ms. Rana said that there is another factor that must be observed, that people who have less income often do more manual work, which means that they are more exposed to higher temperatures.

The intense heat on Tuesday led to the power outage in the center of Florence, due to the peak consumption of air conditioners and some underground electrical cables, the Italian media reported.

On Tuesday afternoon, I mean homes, hotels, and shops without strength. ATMs were also canceled for work, alarm systems in stores and other commercial buildings.

In Bergamo, the high temperature of the underground cables caused the power outage in half of the city. On one side towards the Bayza della Liberta, the lights were derived and people could gather abroad, while on the other hand, towards Centreon, no electricity of the dark store fronts and a small nightlife.

It spread in Bergamo on Tuesday for several hours, with no strength between 16:00 and 22:46 local time.

Heat waves have become more common due to human climate change, according to the United Nations Government Group on climate change.

Severe hot weather will occur often – and becomes more intense – as the planet continues to warm, he said.

We need efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by using more clean energy, for example, but we also need adaptation.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations Weather and Climate Agency, said on Tuesday that human climate change means “intense heat has become more frequent and intense.

In a statement, WMO added: “The effect of heat on human health is more clear in cities as a result of the effect of the urban heat island.

“This is the place where urban environments are much warmer than the surrounding rural areas, especially during hot periods, due to an abundance of paved surfaces, buildings, vehicles and heat sources.”

“This additional temperature in cities exacerbates heat stress and can increase deaths during hot periods,” the agency said.
