The UK is on the verge of a temperature record

In the UK, for the first time in history, temperatures could reach 40°C. The country's authorities warn of the "risk to life" of the subjects of the kingdom. The current record - just under 39°C - was set three years ago.

As part of emergency measures, the school day is being reduced in schools, hospitals are being changed, and transport schedules are being changed.

In France, at the beginning of the week, a peak of heat is also expected - almost throughout the country. In 15 departments declared "red" level of danger. There, the thermometer is already rising above 40°C.

Volunteers help doctors and rescuers: such heat means possible problems even for healthy people.

And in Spain on Monday it was reported that this wave has subsided. She claimed the lives of 360 people. But the cooling is only relative: in some places the temperature reached 45°C, now it will be "just" over 30°C. In addition, meteorologists do not exclude the return of extreme heat, at least on a regional scale.
