🌞 Hey there! Did you know that many parts of Europe are experiencing super hot weather right now? It’s like when you step outside and feel like you’re in an oven! 🥵
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reported on July 1 that most of Europe is facing high temperatures. In Western Europe, they’ve had two heatwaves already! This means it’s been really hot for several days in a row.
So, what’s happening because of all this heat? Well, there are increased risks of wildfires 🔥, some schools are closing 🏫❌ to keep kids safe, and health alerts are being sent out to warn people about the dangers of the extreme heat.
Authorities are taking action to help everyone stay cool and safe. They’re opening cooling centers where people can relax in air-conditioned buildings. They’re also telling people to drink lots of water 💧 and stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day.
Did you know that more than two-thirds of Europe’s extreme heat events since 1950 have happened after the year 2000? That’s according to data from the World Meteorological Organization’s Regional Climate Centre for Europe. It shows that extreme heat is becoming more common!
This might be a good time to learn about ways we can help our planet stay cool, like planting trees 🌳, saving energy, and talking to others about climate change. Every little action counts!
Stay cool, everyone! And remember to always wear sunscreen if you’re going out! 😎🧴
