In Southern Europe, it is currently only raining one thing: red numbers. The Spanish weather service announced code red in part of the country after several heat waves. In Italy, the mercury is currently rising towards the old heat record: 48 degrees Celsius.
Temperatures are also increasingly extreme in the rest of Europe. Where you used to look for a sun-drenched beach and thirty degrees in Provence, it is now almost ten degrees warmer there for large parts of the summer.
According to scientists, the average temperature in countries such as France, Italy, Spain and Greece has already risen by about two degrees in the past hundred years. In the short term, this means more heat waves, forest fires and long summer droughts. In winter it can get colder and snow more than we were used to.
‘Way too hot’
A majority of 74 percent of the participants in the statement of the day find going on holiday to southern Europe less attractive. “Too hot,” someone replied. Another voter says: ,,Last year in the middle of France 37 degrees. Won’t happen again. Really not nice.”
Someone else has come up with something to dodge the heat. “I would like to go to southern Europe, but not in high summer and therefore go in early spring or autumn.”
