The impact of heat has been increasing in many European countries for the past few days. The temperature has increased in many countries, including England, France, Spain, and Portugal. Due to extreme heat, hot winds are blowing in many places. It has been reported that more than a thousand people have died in European countries due to heat waves. People flock to the beaches to beat the heat.
It comes as a surprise to many that a city like London, which is known for its rain and mild temperatures, is experiencing such temperatures. In 2019, the city of London reached its maximum temperature of 38.7 degrees Celsius. The current heat wave has crossed that point and reached 40 degrees Celsius.
Due to such unprecedented heat, the country's government has warned people not to leave their homes unnecessarily. In this case, there has been a fire in the residential areas of London. Due to the intense heat, the fire spread to the adjacent houses, and the place itself has become a smoking zone. More than 100 fire departments are engaged in rescue operations. The officials said that usually 300 to 350 complaints are received by the fire department, but now 1,600 complaints have been received.
In London, which is on first red alert, most train stations are closed. People have been advised not to go out unnecessarily and to avoid cooking foods like barbeque outside.
