Meanwhile, Italy also reported emergency levels of heat in 16 cities while Germany, France, Poland and the Czech Republic had recorded their highest ever June temperatures. Heat stroke was reported to have been claiming several lives. In some parts of Spain, the reports indicated that firefighters were battling some worst wildfires in 20 years with some provinces on red alert as temperatures rose to 42 degrees. The weather service had even issued a red alert for four southern areas while the rest of the country remained on orange alert, said to be the second highest level. Southern France, for example, was said to have reached a record 45.9 degrees centigrade, the highest recorded temperature and there was panic all over.
Foreign media reports a couple of weeks ago alleged that temperatures of 40 to 45 degrees centigrade were forcing people in parts of Europe out of their homes to seek cooler means to cool down their body temperatures including spending longer hours in malls.
