Author:Global Times Time:2022.07.18
According to foreign media such as BBC (BBC), the British Meteorological Administration issued a high -temperature high -temperature warning of extreme weather that continued until Tuesday, and the line would be limited to ensure safety.
The British Railway Network said that the railway service system is very busy, and the trains passing through the above sections will appear late and even cancel. The journey will cost longer, and the running time may change at any time.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safe operation of the train, the British Southwest Railway Corporation (SWR) also announced that it would implement a speed limit because it was worried that if the track was too hot, it would suddenly deformed.

Britain announced that the country has entered an emergency, and local temperatures may exceed 41 degrees. The railway department recommends traveling passengers to confirm the itinerary and prepare for extreme weather in advance.
Professor Penny Endersby, CEO of the British Meteorological Administration, said: "This is the first time that it has issued a national red warning for extremely harsh high temperature weather, and it is also the first time that the UK has monitored a 40 -degree high temperature.
According to the Dutch media BNO News, Portugal and Spain have also encountered heat waves. The Portuguese reported 659 people died of high temperature in the past week, and reached the peak of the number of deaths of 440 people on Thursday alone. Neighbors Spain reported at least 368 cases related to high temperature -related death cases. There were 123 people on Friday alone, which made the total number of deaths in the two countries reaching 1027 cases. It is reported that as the heat wave spreads to other parts of Western Europe, more people are expected to die.
In addition, some areas of western France have also issued high -temperature red warnings, which may be as high as 44 degrees on Monday.
The major British media headlines also scrambled to report the heat waves. The front page of the Guardian is the weather news and a photo of a French firefighter. "Metro" calls this "melting Monday". The front page of "Daily Telegraph" can not even make a choice between "heat waves" or "melting", so the "heat wave melting makes Britain fall into pauses" on the title.
