How are you being affected by the heatwave in southern Europe?

5 hours ago 1

A range of health and environmental alerts have been issued across Europe, particularly its southern part, as large parts of the continent continue to be gripped by a heatwave – with temperatures in mid to high 30s and low 40s Celsius.

Extreme heat can pose serious health risks, especially for babies, children, pregnant women and elderly people.

We’d like to know what it’s like where you live. How are you coping and what steps are you taking to deal with high temperatures? What is your home and working environment like? How does it compare with previous summers? What are your plans for the coming months and what are your concerns?
