On August 18, another peak of the next heat wave is coming, warned the climatologist Georgi Rachev on BTV. Then temperatures in countries like Hungary, for example, are expected to be around 40 degrees.
It will also be very warm in our country, as from the Great Mother of God (August 15) to Thursday the temperatures will be high, next Saturday and Sunday they will drop slightly to 29 degrees and the temperatures will be nice, dry weather. We are going to autumn very slowly, Rachev explained.
The last years are the warmest since the statistics were kept, said the climatologist. Just a few days ago, 48.8 degrees were measured in a neighborhood in Syracuse on the island of Sicily. According to Rachev, it is still uncertain whether they were measured correctly, but if they are real, this is a new temperature record in Europe. The previous one is due to Athens, where the temperature reached 10 hundredths less in 1977.
That is why the UN climate report shows that if urgent measures are not taken now, today, the catastrophic events not only of the weather, but also of landslides, floods, cyclones, tornadoes will increase.
