European countries, anxious about energy shortages, have been hit by extreme high temperatures. According to the provisional data of the Met Office, the temperature in Britain has reached an all-time high of 40.3 degrees Celsius in the past 24 hours, breaking the previous record in many regions. Forecasters warned that the temperature was still rising. France issued an extreme high temperature warning, and the Netherlands reported a record high temperature in July. Germany has experienced the hottest day so far this year, and the German meteorological agency has predicted that the western part of Germany may exceed the 40 ℃ mark this week. Italy is expected to have a high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius this week< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < /div> in addition to the record high temperature, the number of fire alarms is also surging. The southwest of France has experienced the worst wildfires in more than 30 years. The deadly wildfires in France, Spain, Portugal and Greece forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. When recording the violent heat wave, European media said, “the fire broke out, the runway melted, the fire engines burned, and the temperature records rolled over”. So far, thousands of people have died in this heat wave< Br > < div class= "contheight" > < /div> “this is the third super heat wave that Europe has experienced since this year. Before that, the temperature in many regions hit a record high in May and June. The frequency of heat waves is higher and higher, and the temperature is also higher and higher, which is due to human induced climate change.”< Strong> Vikki Thompson, a climate scientist at the University of Bristol who has long studied extreme global climate, especially extreme high temperatures, explained to the news that since 1900, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased the global average temperature by more than 1 degree Celsius. “The heat wave in Europe is accelerating, three to four times faster than other regions at the same latitude. This is because the change of high-speed air flow (jet stream) brings hotter air flow to the region more frequently. ”
