Irish tourists warned of extreme 44C heat in Spain, Portugal, and France as Europe faces heatwave
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Irish holidaymakers are being warned as an extreme heatwave hits Europe - just as many are preparing for their summer getaways. Despite a rainy and breezy forecast at home in Ireland, popular tourist destinations are set to sizzle with temperatures possibly soaring to 44C due to high pressure dominating much of Europe. And Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly has sounded the alarm for Irish tourists visiting three hotspots. He said: "Heading for Spain, Portugal or France this weekend? Prepare for some hot weather, could hit up to 44c in parts of Portugal and Spain and up to 40c in parts of France. Yes I know it's summer and yes these countries do get hot but this is a little early to see these temps and us Irish aren't built for that heat." With Northern Europe caught in an unseasonably early heatwave, experts forecast temperatures will climb even further in the weeks ahead. The French national meteorological service, Meteo France, has issued warnings that such intense heat poses a threat to all, including those in good health. Southern Europe is facing a more dire scenario, with the Greek island of Chios currently in the throes of a fierce wildfire. Residents have been evacuated as the parched island ignited over the weekend. Portugal has already recorded a scorching 40.5C this year, while certain areas in Spain have experienced peaks of over 42C. Wageningen University's environmental systems analysis professor, Bas Amelung, predicts future summer temperatures in favoured holiday spots like Spain, France, Italy, Greece, and Turkey could rise to uncomfortable levels. "Countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey that currently attract the traditional 'sun and sand' summer tourists are likely to become too hot for comfort in the summer," he warns. "So if a large majority of holidaymakers thinks some European destinations will soon be 'too hot', they may well start adapting, either by going somewhere else in summer or by going to the same place in another season."
