Italian health officials intensified heat warnings as southern Europe began a brutally hot week on Monday with temperatures expected to top 40 C -- or 104 F -- on a continent already overburdened by tourists.
Italian health officials intensified heat warnings as southern Europe began a brutally hot week on Monday withThe health ministry issued 10 recommendations to protect elderly people, the sick and pets from the heat, urging people to stay indoors during the hottest hours, drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day and refrain from strenuous exercise at peak daylight times. The culprit was a high-pressuredubbed Cerberus, the multi-headed dog that guards gates to the underworld in Greek mythology.
The mercury in Rome hit 35 C just before noon Monday and was forecast to near 40 C in the afternoon. Italy's capital city was expected to be even hotter on Tuesday, as were several other cities in particular in Sardinia and Sicily. Elsewhere in Spain, a wildfire that started Saturday on the Canary island of La Palma continued to burn out-of-control Monday, although authorities says weaker winds and cooler temperatures in the area are helping firefighters combat it. The blaze has burned some 4,600 hectares of mostly woody hill land and some 20 houses and buildings.
