Temperatures are sizzling across Europe this week amid an intense and prolonged period of heat. And it’s only just begun. Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are all facing a major heatwave with temperatures expected to climb to 48°C on the islands of Sicily and Sardinia – potentially the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe.
Keep in mind that this is just the beginning of climate change. By mid century temperature records of 45°C will be normal in Germany, whereas Spain and Italy will be looking at 52-55°C records. Correspondingly thr number of heat related deaths is expected to rise to about 120.000 per year.
And yet some people still deny it happening, despite everything being so clear about it actually happening right before our eyes.
Are there any updated estimate maps for future temperatures?
