Hot in Europe, south of continent “setting” by sun

The extreme heat that has mainly included southern Europe continues to penetrate a portion of the continent, fully meriting the nickname “Lucifer”

Spain holds this summer's record in Europe with temperatures reaching 44 degrees Fahrenheit [44 ° C], but Italy, southern France, Romania, is not doing well. Even in Italy, the days of the seemingly endless heat have been costly for Alps, and tourist resorts offering summer skiing have closed the doors because of worsening conditions.

Local authorities in many areas of southern Europe say that this year the numbers of people who have sought medical assistance have increased significantly with Italy and Romania marking victims.

The heat couldn't save even the Balkans, where Kosovo has rarely entered the list, which has scored even the highest temperatures in the country for at least 10 years. In other countries such as Croatia, Greece or Montenegro, authorities have warned people to be careful and especially avoid midday hours due to high temperatures.

Meteorologists, meanwhile, have no good news as far as the heat is concerned, as high temperatures are expected to continue for a few more days this week, with much expected cuts at the weekend.
