Heat Wave Strikes Southern Europe

Posted on June 27, 2005

A severe heat wave is causing alarm in Southern Europe. Temperatures in Southern Spain have been hitting 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) for weeks now according to an AP report. Europeans are hoping this heat wave will not be as bad as the one in 2003 that killed over 40,000 people. 20,000 people in Italy alone were killed by the heat wave primarily due to a lack of air conditioning.

Update: The BBC provides these pictures about the drought in Southern Europe.
