Heat wave sweeps Europe with early summer peak

A heat wave is expected to sweep across Europe in the coming days, as a region of high pressure dominates the atmosphere in Europe, trapping heat in what is sometimes called a "thermal dome".

And the “Bloomberg” news agency quoted the Spanish Meteorological Service as saying that temperatures in southern Spain are likely to rise to 42 degrees today, Wednesday, with the temperature in most parts of the country approaching 40 degrees Celsius, a level that was also recorded in the capital, Madrid, on Tuesday. .

This rise in temperatures usually resolves later in the summer.

Southern winds also push desert dust to the north, deteriorating air quality and reducing visibility.

Residents of other European capitals: Paris, Rome and London, are preparing for harsh weather conditions.

"The heat wave will intensify throughout the week... It will get worse by the day," said Maika Rantanen, a researcher at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
