US and Europe battle extreme heat
The effect of the heat wave continues to show itself in the US and Europe. In the southern and western states of the US, in Europe, especially in southern Italy, air temperatures are expected to reach dangerous levels.
“A dangerous heat wave is expected in parts of the western and southern United States,” the US National Weather Service (NWS) said in a statement.
A red flag warning has been issued in southeastern California, southern Nevada and western Arizona.
WHAT IS A RED FLAG WARNING?
A Red Flag Warning is a forecast warning issued by the National Weather Service to inform the public, fire departments, and land management agencies that conditions are ideal for wildfires to start and spread rapidly.
On the other hand, a similar situation is taking place in Italy…
The Italian Ministry of Health declared a third level red alert in 16 cities across the country.
The Italian Meteorological Service reported that the temperature will begin to drop in the north of the country between July 17 and 23, but the danger continues on the island of Sicily. Temperatures are expected to exceed 45 degrees on the island of Sicily.
