It’s not just us:
At least thirty five people have died in the intense European heat-wave.
People, wildlife and crops have been affected. Animals are dying, grain is wilting and fruit is ripening weeks early in Italy.
Fish stocks in rivers and lakes are dropping as water is pumped out for agricultural use.
Eight people have died in Greece, which is experiencing its worst heat-wave in one hundred and ten years. Temperatures reached 46 degrees Celsius during five days of sweltering weather
.
46 degrees Celsius is 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
For a non-desert location, that’s mind-boggling.
