The Minister of Environmental Transition by France, Agnes Bandir Runcher, said earlier that two of the heat -related deaths were registered in France and that more than 300 people have been granted emergency care.

The European continent is witnessing very high temperatures, a phenomenon that the United Nations Climate Agency said it has become more frequent due to “human climate change.”

For Spain and England, June celebrated the latest in June since the start of the records. The weather service in Spain, AEMET, said that the average temperature of last month is 23.6 degrees Celsius (74.5f) “crushed records”, bypassing the regular average of July and August.

Ms. Rana said that there is another factor that must be observed, that people who have less income often do more manual work, which means that they are more exposed to higher temperatures.

Heat waves have become more common due to human climate change, according to the United Nations Government Group on climate change.

Severe hot weather will occur often – and becomes more intense – as the planet continues to warm, he said.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations Weather and Climate Agency, said on Tuesday that human climate change means “intense heat has become more frequent and intense.

In a statement, WMO added: “The effect of heat on human health is more clear in cities as a result of the effect of the urban heat island.

“This is the place where urban environments are much warmer than the surrounding rural areas, especially during hot periods, due to an abundance of paved surfaces, buildings, vehicles and heat sources.”

“This additional temperature in cities exacerbates heat stress and can increase deaths during hot periods,” the agency said.
