Record-high temperatures hit Croatia, with Split Airport recording 42C, breaking the previous record of 40C in 2015. Heatwave deaths Scientists warned on Friday that Europe’s death toll from weather disasters could rise 50-fold by the year 2100, with weather-related disasters, such as heatwaves and cold waves, wildfires, droughts, river and coastal floods, and windstorms, which could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the end of the century. “We found that weather-related disasters could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the year 2100 (351 million people exposed per year [uncertainty range 126 million to 523 million] during the period 2071–100) compared with 5% during the reference period (1981–2010; 25 million people exposed per year). About 50 times the number of fatalities occurring annually during the reference period (3,000 deaths) could occur by the year 2100 (152,000 deaths [80,500–239,800]),” researchers said in a study published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal.

The challenge was to combine past records with calculations of how climate change is likely to evaluate and what consequences this may cause. “Heatwaves are the most lethal weather-related hazard,” researchers noted, adding that during the reference period (between 1981 and 2010), 2,700 heat-related fatalities per year were reported in Europe by the disaster databases. “This number is projected to grow exponentially, to reach 151,500 by the period 2071–2100, or 99% of the total future weather-related disaster death toll,” they warned. http://news.sky.com/story/lucifer-he...ected-10974952 Lucifer heatwave: Everything you need to know to stay protected People taking their summer holidays in the worst affected parts of Europe can still enjoy the sun safely - here's how... 14:06, UK, Saturday 05 August 2017 A man refreshes himself with the waters of a fountain at Piazza Castello in Turin on August 2, 2017, as they seek relief during a heatwave that continues to grip southern Europe. / AFP PHOTO / Marco BERTORELLO (Photo credit should read MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP/Getty Images) Image: Some parts of Europe are seeing temperatures above 40C By Ceren Senkul, News Reporter Experts have warned high temperatures across Europe are putting lives at risk, so here's our guide to staying safe if you're travelling to one of the countries affected. :: Lucifer heatwave poses 'major' risk to parts of Europe Who is most at risk?

Going to the toilet more than usual and darker urine are also signs to watch out for. What if I suspect someone has become unwell? Seek medical help if you suspect someone is suffering from too much heat exposure. In the meantime, get them somewhere cool and use a cold wet cloth or sponge on their head. http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/04/heatwa...-hell-6829236/ ![]() Heatwave Lucifer is making Europe ‘hot as hell’ Adam SmithFriday 4 Aug 2017 3:04 pm Share this article with Facebook Share this article with Twitter Share this article with Google Plus Share this article through email Europe is hot as hell thanks to a heatwave called 'Lucifer' Hot as hell: Europe weather temperature map is hotter than normal (Picture: WeatherOnline) A heatwave called ‘Lucifer’ is causing havoc in Europe with 11 countries being issued ‘danger’ warnings over rocketing temperatures.

Romanian meteorologists issued an extreme temperatures warning, with 42 Celsius (107.6 F) forecast for parts of western Romania and placing 12 counties under a "red code" heat alert for the next two days. (AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda) No wonder it's been dubbed "Lucifer." A relentless heat wave that gripped parts of Europe this week has sent temperatures soaring to record highs for several days, causing at least two deaths and prompting authorities to issue weather alerts. Extreme heat in Italy, and parts of France and Spain and the Balkans, has led to dozens of wildfires, damaged crops and fueled power and water consumption. Authorities in some areas issued traffic restrictions and banned work in the open in the hottest part of the day as temperatures reached more than 40 C (104 F). Spain's national weather service on Saturday issued an emergency warning for high temperatures for 31 of the country's 50 provinces as forecasts predicted temperatures of up to 44 C (111.2 F). Although this part of Europe is used to scorching summers, meteorologists have warned that such high temperatures lasting over several days aren't that common. Serbian authorities have said the hot spell came from Africa. "It is just too much," said 52-year-old real estate agent Sasa Jovanovic, from Belgrade, the Serbian capital. "Sometimes it feels as if I cannot breathe." In the Alpine nation of Slovenia, authorities reported earlier this week the first-ever "tropical night" at 1,500 meters (4,920 feet) in the mountains, meaning temperatures were higher than 20 C (68 F) during the night. Authorities in other countries urged people to stay indoors and drink a lot of water. The public health institute in Belgrade issued heat instructions, telling people to keep wet towels on windows if there is no air conditioning, and avoid physical strain and alcohol. In Croatia, authorities have appealed to the thousands of tourists vacationing along the country's Adriatic coast to be careful on the beaches and while traveling. The streets of Montenegro's capital, Podgorica, and other towns, were empty on the weekend, sending people flocking to the country's Adriatic coast. Authorities there issued a fire alert because of dry weather. Some 15 wildfires have been reported in Albania, and dozens of others throughout the region. Hot and dry weather has scorched crops amid fears of water shortages in Italy and Serbia as authorities appealed for care in consumption. In Romania, police banned heavy traffic on major roads in daylight hours during the weekend because of the heat wave, while trains slowed down. A train service in southern Serbia also was delayed earlier this week after tracks buckled in the heat. Romania reported two heat-related deaths — a 45-year-old man collapsed and died Friday while working in a field in the northeast, while a 60-year-old man died of a heart attack in the street in an eastern port Thursday. In neighboring Hungary, the state railway company said it would distribute water at busy terminals. At the Budapest Zoo, Beliy and Seriy, a pair of 2-year-old polar bear cubs, were given huge chunks of ice and freezing-cold watermelons to help them withstand the weather conditions. ——— Alison Mutler in Bucharest, Romania; Predrag Milic in Podgorica, Montenegro; Joseph Wilson in Madrid, and Pablo Gorondi in Budapest, Hungary, contributed to this report.
