Europe is facing a heat wave again as a result of the spread of Corona19 and the world is suffering.
This is because the steamy weather makes wearing a mask difficult.
The Spanish National Meteorological Administration (AMET) says the temperature in the northern maritime city of San Sebastian has risen to 42 degrees Celsius.
This high temperature is said to be the highest in 65 years since it began making records in 1955.
On the island of Palma de Mallorca in eastern Spain, temperatures reached 40.6 degrees Celsius on the 28th, setting a record high in the region.
In the UK, Italy, France, and Austria, records of heat waves have also been recorded.
According to the British Weather Service, Heathrow Airport in western London reached 37.8 degrees Celsius on the 31st.
This was the hottest day of the year and the third hottest day ever.
In 14 Italian cities, an emergency alert was issued following the heatwaves, and France issued alerts in a third of 101 departements.
Climate change due to global warming has been pointed out as a cause of heat waves.
