The “thermal explosion” recorded in the Sahara will lead to the fact that tourism in Southern Europe will “cover a copper basin”. So, by the middle of this week, records of +50 degrees Celsius are expected on the extremely popular Italian islands — Sicily and Sardinia.
According to Bloomberg, the reason for such record temperatures is a “thermal explosion” recorded in the Sahara and spreading to central Europe. According to experts, a heat wave from North Africa is capable of breaking temperature records in many cities. It will be recalled that the previous record, set in Sardinia only two years ago, was +48°C.
In addition to the Italian islands, many European capitals popular with tourists – Rome, Athens, Madrid, and Barcelona – will be under attack. We will remind, in Rome, tourists have already been warned that in conditions of abnormal heat, visiting excursions can be dangerous for health, and urged to “sit at home” under the air conditioner – or at least in the shade from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Turkey is also suffering from the heat, records are set by the province of Antalya, which is popular with our tourists, the highest temperature was recorded in Manavgat — over +44 degrees. There are hardly any tourists on the usually busy beach of Konyaalta, and those who are there prefer to escape the heat of the sea.
