Xinhua News Agency reporter

Near the summer solstice, European countries such as Spain, France, Italy have encountered high temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in some areas has a record of the same period since the meteorological records. The high temperature and high temperature brings great challenges to the people's life and work, forest fire prevention, agricultural production and energy demand. The World Meteorological Organization said that due to climate change, it is expected that extreme high temperatures will appear more frequently, earlier, and stronger in the future.

High temperature early strike

The World Meteorological Organization believes that the Atlantic low -voltage system between the Acel Islands and the Madila Islands will push the heating ball to Western Europe, bringing high temperature weather in the region. In some places in Spain and France, the current temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius higher than the same period. The organization spokesman Claire Nalis said at a press conference held on the 17th that although it is only mid -June, high temperature weather is similar to July and August of previous years.

According to the weather forecast released by the French Meteorological Administration on the afternoon of the 18th, 11 provinces in the southwest of the country issued high -temperature red alerts. The temperature of Biliaz, the seaside city, soared to 42.9 degrees Celsius on the afternoon, setting the highest temperature record since 2003.

Spain has suffered a weekly extreme heat wave. According to the weather forecast released by the Spanish National Meteorological Administration on the 17th, Tryo and Lei Alta in the central part of the country, Salangsa and Leida in the northeast, and Corolopa in the south have exceeded 40. 40 have exceeded 40 Celsius; that day, 11 high -temperature orange warnings in the country were released.

Italy has also been attacked by heat waves recently, and the temperature in some areas in the north has reached 40 degrees Celsius on the 17th. The northern cities Turin, Bresia and the central city of Florence and Peruja announced on the 17th that they had entered an orange -level high -temperature emergency state; Turin announced that it entered the highest level of red high -temperature emergency on the 19th.

Facing the "baking" test

High -temperature weather makes fire protection work across Spain facing many challenges. Recently, mountain forest fires occur in many places in Spain. The Spanish National Meteorological Administration's forecast shows that the country is facing high fire risks or extremely high risks.

High temperature affects the human body, especially the fragile crowd. French Minister of Health and Disease Prevention Brigitte Birkinion said on the 18th that the workload of French hospitals is "obviously in a saturated state." The health department recommends that the hottest period of the day will reduce going out, drinking water, and avoiding physical labor. France also set up a special service hotline.

High -temperature weather has also exacerbated air pollution. The air quality levels in Paris, Lille, Marseille and other cities in France were "poor" on the 17th. In some areas, speed limit measures have been taken for driving motor vehicles from the 17th; the Paris Government has banned motor vehicles on the road with a 3 to 5 types of motor vehicles from the 18th. High temperature also led to the surge in France's electricity consumption, and the country began to turn to import power from neighbors.

The Italian Farmers Association said that about half of the northern part of the country's agricultural area was only about half of the same period last year. Crops were threatened by drought, and the loss was estimated to be 1 billion euros. Alberto Chilio, the chairman of the Permont region of Turin, said that the longest river in Italy's longest river Bohe this year is 72%lower than the normal year, and this river is essential to agricultural irrigation. Some areas of Piermont have no rain for 110 consecutive days, and the amount of snowfall last winter was very small, which made the situation even more severe.

Climate Change

A spokesman for the World Meteorological Organization Nalis said the heat wave came earlier due to climate change. If greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, global warming will be greater, and what is currently undergoing is only a "future sign of the future."

The French Meteorological Agency climate Schartae Sorrell said on the 17th that this was the earliest heat wave since 1947, "this is the sign of the sign of climate change."

Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez said on the 17th that extreme high temperatures are no longer anecdotes. "Global warming is leading to increased extreme weather events, such as the heat wave we are currently experiencing."

Edward Dorkini, director of the Italian Roman Climate Change Office, said that high temperature and drought will happen more frequently in the future, and state and local governments should take measures to respond.
