The consequences of the heat and the prospects of cooling are in the material of the "cold".
There are already thousands of victims and dozens of dead. The temperature rose to historical maximums and does not plan to decline

In Spain alone, several hundred people could die from the abnormal heat
In Spain, a child left in the car died from a thermal blow, it is also known abouttwo dead farmers. In Italy - at least five dead . There are no exact data on the number of deaths associated with the heat, but in Spain alone there can be from six people to several hundred .
Fires and evacuation
A large forest fire broke out on the Greek island of Crete. The focus of fire arose in a mountainous area near Hieraetra on the southern coast of the island. Residential buildings and tourist infrastructure were at risk. More than 1,500 people, including tourists, were evacuated from the danger zone - some had to be saved by sea. Over 200 people are temporarily accommodated in the indoor sports complex.
The smoke from the fire spread by about 10 kilometers and reached the beach of Macri-Yalos, and near the Hierapertra, in the Agi-Fotiy region, the fire reached a residential array and damaged the energy infrastructure. Several elderly people are hospitalized with symptoms of suffocation.

In parallel in the Greek region, Chalkidics broke out another large fire. The Greece authorities warn : the country began in the country the most dangerous time of the fire hazardous season.
In Germany, a disaster regime has been announced
The situation is difficult and outside Greece. In Germany, on the border of the lands of Saxony and Brandenburg, a former military training ground in the Gorishhaid reserve caught fire - 200 hectares of forest already covered the fire. About 100 people are evacuated, including guests of a boarding school for people with disabilities. Fire extinguishing is complicated by buried ammunition from the war: they can explode at any time.
The fire spreads rapidly due to the heat and strong winds, the authorities consider the possibility of attracting helicopters for extinguishing. Another large fire is raging in Thuringia: since the beginning of the week, 250 hectares of forest have been burning in the Zaalfelder -he community. The disaster mode has been declared, thick smoke spread to Bavaria. Residents are advised not to open windows and disable ventilation due to a threat to health.

In Turkey, in late June - early July, 342 forest fires throughout the country were recorded , about 50 thousand people were evacuated. The ministry connects fires with an arid climate, heat and gusts of wind, sometimes the cause of fires is called the closure of electric networks. But also fires arise as a result of human actions . In Spain and France, there are also foci of fires now, but so far the situation is under control.
When to wait for a cold snap
According to weather forecasters, the heat comes from the African continent. High pressure forms the so -called “thermal dome” - presses air to the ground and increases the temperature. The upper layer of the Mediterranean Sea is also unusually warm for this time of the year, which exacerbates extreme temperatures over land.
Scientists argue that such waves of heat become more and more frequent, intense and prolonged due to climate change. Europe is the fastest heating continent: it heats up twice as fast as the rest of the world. By 2050, half of the population of Europe may be in high thermal stress conditions every summer.
Hundreds of billions of euros will lose the EU economy due to heat
The heat affects the economy: abnormal temperatures in Europe are able to slow down its growth. According to Allianz Research, in 2025 the region’s GDP can be reduced by hundreds of billions of euros, or by 0.5 percentage points (p.). This will be especially acute in southern Europe: in Spain, the growth of the economy can slow down by 1.4 p., In Italy and Greece - per 1 p. France loss will amount to about 0.3 p., And Germany - about 0.1 p.
Economists compare the effect of heat with strikes: one working day at temperatures above 32 ° C is equivalent to the loss of half the shift. According to the International Labor Organization, by 2030, due to extreme heat, the world may lose 2.2% of the total volume of working hours, and, according to one of the assessments, the total cost of such losses will be 2.4 trillion dollars a year.
According to weather forecasts, in the near future the weather with the weather will not change dramatically.
