Western Europe in the grip of severe heatwave, red alert in Italy, outcry from London to Geneva, advisory issued for workers and general public.

Due to global warming and climate change, the entire Western Europe is currently burning like a fiery furnace. Temperatures have reached dangerous and historic levels in Europe’s biggest and major cities like Paris, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​London, Zurich and Geneva. Due to this fire raining from the sky, the administrative structures of many countries have collapsed and serious concerns have arisen regarding the health of the citizens. In Paris, the capital of France, the mercury has crossed 40 degrees Celsius, which has destroyed many previous records.

Schools closed in many countries, top level heat alert in Italy
In view of the scorching heat, emergency steps are being taken in many countries of Europe. To protect children from this deadly heat wave, major changes have been made in school timings at many places, while orders have been issued to keep schools completely closed in many highly affected areas. The administration has issued a top-level ‘heat red alert’ in major cities like Rome and Florence in Italy.

Strict steps for the safety of workers: The Italian government has implemented special measures and guidelines for the safety of workers working outdoors in this scorching heat, so that they can be protected from heat stroke.

‘Climate shelter’ opened in Spain
The situation is even more serious in Spanish cities like Madrid and Barcelona. Here, the government and local administration have opened special ‘climate shelters’ to provide relief to the general public, where people can go to protect themselves from the scorching sun and heat.

The administration of all the affected countries of Europe is fully prepared at this time and people are being continuously appealed through loudspeakers, social media and news media not to come out of their homes unless it is absolutely necessary. Along with this, strict instructions are being given to avoid dehydration in the body and to take special care of the elderly and children. Meteorologists believe that there are very little chances of getting relief from this severe heatwave in the coming few days.
