Extreme temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius and hot weather in Europe 10:20 on August 1st
On the 31st in Europe, it was extremely hot with the maximum temperature approaching 40 degrees in Paris, the capital of France. Meteorological officials have warned that they could hit another severe heat wave last year.
In Europe, the temperature rose in various places on the 31st due to the effects of warm air from the African continent.
Among them, in France, the highest temperature in Paris was the hottest day, approaching 39.3 degrees and 40 degrees, and the three eastern municipalities exceeded 40 degrees, renewing the highest temperature in the history of observation.
In the square overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris, people were seen eating ice cream and drinking cold drinks to withstand the harsh heat.
In Spain, the maximum temperature exceeded 11 degrees in 11 cities, mainly in the south, and the capital city of Madrid rose to 39.5 degrees. In Madrid, it is mandatory to wear a mask in public facilities and public transportation as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, and people walking with a mask said that "it is hot and seems to choke".
Europe last year recorded a record heat of over 40 degrees Celsius, with a record high of 42.6 degrees in Paris for the first time in 72 years. We are calling for vigilance as possible.
