A second 'hellish' heatwave is set to hit Europe next week, as British holidaymakers face urgent warnings about the risk to life
British tourists have been warned about "significant" risks to life in multiple European cities, as the Cerberus anticyclone, named after the three-headed hound in Dante's Inferno, forced temperatures into the late 40s Celsius.
It comes after land temperatures - how hot the ground is to touch - topped 60C in parts of southern Spain on Thursday.Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey are among the European countries affected by the extreme weather event. Multiple European cities have been forced to issue red alert warnings by the heat.
Hundreds of people were spotted queuing to see the Acropolis in Athens amid the scorching heat on Thursday. “How many more summers will we have to go through before we begin to convince ourselves of the fact that the rise in temperatures may not be a sporadic extraordinary event at all, but rather an irreversible process that has in fact already begun,” Italian immunologist Mauro Minelli told the Leggo newspaper.
