Widespread alerts warning of medium or high temperatures have been issued across many countries in Western, Central and even northeastern Europe.
Weather forecasters in the UK say the country will sizzle this week in a heat wave that could set a new record for hottest day. Temperatures will peak on Thursday, when the mercury could reach a sweltering 39 Celsius , according to the UK's national weather service, the Met Office.
The institute cited data from Public Health England to highlight an estimated 863"excess deaths" as a result of three heat wave events last summer, which was the hottest on record in England. Amid the rising temperatures, London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday that it had recovered the body of a man who had vanished while swimming with friends in the River Thames in London on Tuesday. Searches were continuing Wednesday for two others who disappeared from sight in other parts of the Thames while swimming Tuesday evening.
"We wanted to alert everyone, and no one is without risk," French Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn said."Common sense must prevail, everyone must feel assured by the red level that this will affect all 20 regions. It is a health alert for all citizens." "We do very thorough studies for the environment and we do not want to damage the fauna and flora. It is a precautionary principle," an EDF spokesperson said."There are large margins to avoid risk."
