Ten southern and central European countries have declared a red alert after heatwave ‘Lucifer’ caused temperatures to skyrocket over 40C, with scientists warning that the extreme heat could end up killing 152,000 people a year by 2100.

Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia are on red alert, European forecast network Meteoalarm said on Saturday.

Florence’s famous Uffizi Gallery was temporarily closed on Friday after the museum’s air conditioning system broke down, ANSA news agency reported.

Greece, Spain, Bulgaria, France, Macedonia, Slovakia, and Moldova have issued orange alerts to stress the potential for worsening weather conditions.

At least two people have died from the heat, one in Romania and one in Poland, Reuters reported, adding that many more have been taken to the hospital for sunstroke.

“In two hours of my shift today I saw four people fainting on the street and complaining of heat exhaustion,” a traffic warden told Reuters in Belgrade.

Authorities in Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Croatia advised people to stay indoors to avoid the heat, with temperatures expected to stay around 40C (104F) next week.

Record-high temperatures hit Croatia, with Split Airport recording 42C, breaking the previous record of 40C in 2015.
Heatwave deaths

Scientists warned on Friday that Europe’s death toll from weather disasters could rise 50-fold by the year 2100, with weather-related disasters, such as heatwaves and cold waves, wildfires, droughts, river and coastal floods, and windstorms, which could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the end of the century.

“We found that weather-related disasters could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the year 2100 (351 million people exposed per year [uncertainty range 126 million to 523 million] during the period 2071–100) compared with 5% during the reference period (1981–2010; 25 million people exposed per year). About 50 times the number of fatalities occurring annually during the reference period (3,000 deaths) could occur by the year 2100 (152,000 deaths [80,500–239,800]),” researchers said in a study published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal.

The detailed study found that “unless global warming is curbed as a matter of urgency and appropriate adaptation measures are taken, about 350 million Europeans could be exposed to harmful climate extremes on an annual basis by the end of this century.”

Researchers scrutinized the effects of the most commonly found weather-related disasters in the 28 EU states, as well as Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland, analyzing disaster records from 1981 to 2010. The challenge was to combine past records with calculations of how climate change is likely to evaluate and what consequences this may cause.

“Heatwaves are the most lethal weather-related hazard,” researchers noted, adding that during the reference period (between 1981 and 2010), 2,700 heat-related fatalities per year were reported in Europe by the disaster databases.

“This number is projected to grow exponentially, to reach 151,500 by the period 2071–2100, or 99% of the total future weather-related disaster death toll,” they warned.

By Ceren Senkul, News Reporter

Experts have warned high temperatures across Europe are putting lives at risk, so here's our guide to staying safe if you're travelling to one of the countries affected.

:: Lucifer heatwave poses 'major' risk to parts of Europe

Who is most at risk?

Everyone can be affected by too much heat exposure, but there are some high-risk groups:

People over 75, babies and young children, people with health issues such as problems with their heart or lungs, people with high blood pressure, diabetes or mobility problems, and people who suffer from poor mental health.

Which are the worst affected areas?

Popular holiday destinations like Italy, Croatia, Spain, southern France, Greece and much of the Mediterranean have all issued weather warnings due to the heat.

Image: Stay hydrated during extreme heat

Can I still enjoy my holiday?

Yes. However, it is important to be responsible in hot weather.

Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day - between 11am and 3pm.

Wear a hat to protect your head, and loose clothing to keep cool.

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - it is best to avoid too much alcohol or drinks high in sugar.

If you are by the pool then spend as much time as possible under the shade.

:: Heatwaves in Europe 'may kill 150,000 each year'

What are the warning signs to look out for?

Signs that someone has been exposed to too much heat or sun include breathlessness, confusion, chest pain, dizziness, unquenchable thirst, fatigue and headache.

Going to the toilet more than usual and darker urine are also signs to watch out for.

What if I suspect someone has become unwell?

Seek medical help if you suspect someone is suffering from too much heat exposure.

In the meantime, get them somewhere cool and use a cold wet cloth or sponge on their head.

A heatwave called ‘Lucifer’ is causing havoc in Europe with 11 countries being issued ‘danger’ warnings over rocketing temperatures.

Across Italy, Spain, Croatia, Hungary and Southern Europe temperatures are higher than 40C which has led to forest fires, evacuations and safety fears for the vulnerable.

Many holiday destinations popular with British tourists are now warning both residents and visitors to stay in the shade and carry water at all times.

The Italians have dubbed the heatwave ‘Lucifer’ and it comes on the back of one of the longest drought’s in history.

The heatwave has caused a 15 per cent increase in hospital emergency admissions in Italy with 26 major towns and cities on the health ministry’s maximum heat alert.

Farmers are counting the cost after a prolonged drought and weather forecasters predict the hot weather is here to stay for at least another week.

In Abruzzo a 79-year-old woman was found dead in a field next to her home overcome by flames that engulfed two hectares of surrounding farmland.

A section of the Via Aurelia coastal motorway that runs northwards from Rome to the Riviera had to be closed for several hours because of a major fire near Grosseto in Tuscany.

And in Romania ‘red alerts’ have been issued after meteorologists have forecast 42C in western parts of the country.

The beaches across the Mediterranean will all feel a lot hotter than normal due to warm winds coming up from Africa.

The heatwave has also caused wildfires in Italy, Spain and Croatia this week.

In Greece, the seaside town of Kalyvia, south of Athens, had to be evacuated as a wildfires threatened homes in high winds.

No wonder it's been dubbed "Lucifer."

A relentless heat wave that gripped parts of Europe this week has sent temperatures soaring to record highs for several days, causing at least two deaths and prompting authorities to issue weather alerts.

Extreme heat in Italy, and parts of France and Spain and the Balkans, has led to dozens of wildfires, damaged crops and fueled power and water consumption. Authorities in some areas issued traffic restrictions and banned work in the open in the hottest part of the day as temperatures reached more than 40 C (104 F).

Spain's national weather service on Saturday issued an emergency warning for high temperatures for 31 of the country's 50 provinces as forecasts predicted temperatures of up to 44 C (111.2 F).

Although this part of Europe is used to scorching summers, meteorologists have warned that such high temperatures lasting over several days aren't that common. Serbian authorities have said the hot spell came from Africa.

"It is just too much," said 52-year-old real estate agent Sasa Jovanovic, from Belgrade, the Serbian capital. "Sometimes it feels as if I cannot breathe."

In the Alpine nation of Slovenia, authorities reported earlier this week the first-ever "tropical night" at 1,500 meters (4,920 feet) in the mountains, meaning temperatures were higher than 20 C (68 F) during the night.

Authorities in other countries urged people to stay indoors and drink a lot of water. The public health institute in Belgrade issued heat instructions, telling people to keep wet towels on windows if there is no air conditioning, and avoid physical strain and alcohol.

In Croatia, authorities have appealed to the thousands of tourists vacationing along the country's Adriatic coast to be careful on the beaches and while traveling.

The streets of Montenegro's capital, Podgorica, and other towns, were empty on the weekend, sending people flocking to the country's Adriatic coast. Authorities there issued a fire alert because of dry weather.

Some 15 wildfires have been reported in Albania, and dozens of others throughout the region. Hot and dry weather has scorched crops amid fears of water shortages in Italy and Serbia as authorities appealed for care in consumption.

In Romania, police banned heavy traffic on major roads in daylight hours during the weekend because of the heat wave, while trains slowed down. A train service in southern Serbia also was delayed earlier this week after tracks buckled in the heat.

Romania reported two heat-related deaths — a 45-year-old man collapsed and died Friday while working in a field in the northeast, while a 60-year-old man died of a heart attack in the street in an eastern port Thursday.

In neighboring Hungary, the state railway company said it would distribute water at busy terminals. At the Budapest Zoo, Beliy and Seriy, a pair of 2-year-old polar bear cubs, were given huge chunks of ice and freezing-cold watermelons to help them withstand the weather conditions.
