Extreme temperatures and devastating droughts across Europe are quickly turning what was supposed to finally be a return to normalcy for the region’s tourist entities into an inferno.

More than 360 people have died in Spain since July 10 in an historic heat wave that has seen temperatures hover around 115 degrees for several days in a row. At least 84 of the deaths have occurred in the last 72 hours, prompting the Spanish government to urge people to limit exposure to the heat and ban some tourist activities like guided walks in Barcelona during the midday hours.

The Italian government has called a national emergency along the River Po, which cuts across northern Italy and is so low people can walk across it at certain points. The drought has also led to extreme water restrictions, including turning off ornamental fountains in Milan and restricting hair dressers from double shampooing clients to save water. In southern Italy, droughts have sparked wildfires, including several devastating blazes within Rome’s city limits in the last two weeks.In the U.K.

Ik zit elders in een gesprek waarin iemand beweerde dat 40° in Madrid een record was. Ik heb hem verteld dat het daar vroeger weleens 42° is geweest. Omdat ik me dat herinner en niet van nepfeitjes hou. Maar het is zo'n 46° in Spanje. Dat is wel hoger dan ik ooit gehoord heb.

Maybe don't run a story like this with the sunbathing pictures then, guys?

Cordoba was a cooker the year I visited. The local saying “Joder que calor” is no joke.

This is the price we are paying by rejecting the only viable climate solution, which is NuclearPower.

There is no problem with climate change. 360 people imagined it.

Thanks for nothing JoeManchinWV 👀😡
