"Southern Europe is bracing for a second heat storm in a week, with Italy,
Greece and Spain, along with Morocco and other Mediterranean countries, being
told temperature records could be broken on Tuesday.
A new anticyclone that pushed into the region from north Africa on Sunday could
lift temperatures above the record 48.8C (120F) seen in Sicily in August 2021,
and follows last week’s Cerberus heatwave.
The European Space Agency (ESA) said the next week could bring the hottest
temperatures ever recorded in Europe in a heatwave named Charon after the Greek
mythological boatman who ferries souls to the underworld.
The human-caused climate crisis is supercharging extreme weather around the
world, driving more frequent and more deadly disasters, from heatwaves to
floods to wildfires."
