According to the reference news network, on June 28th, the extreme heat wave in early summer in Western Europe continued, and the temperature in France set a new record, nearly 2 degrees Celsius higher than the previous record.
According to the French Meteorological Bureau, at 4: 20pm on June 28th, the temperature in Gallagher Montreux, Gar province in southern France reached 45.9 degrees Celsius, even higher than that in Death Valley, California, USA. The high temperature caused the mountain fire to burn an area of 550 hectares, and some houses and vehicles were set on fire.
The previous high temperature record of 44. 1 C set in 2003 was broken twice before June 28th: First, the temperature in the southeastern city of Carpenter Tras reached 44.3 C; A few hours later, the temperature in Villvier, Provence reached 45. 1 Celsius.
The high temperature also affected the agricultural production in France. At present, 25 of France's more than 90 provinces have adopted water restriction measures, and the output of crops that need regular irrigation in summer, such as corn, is likely to be affected.
Vineyards in the province of Ero in southwestern France have also been hit by high temperatures. Some vineyard owners complained that their skins were "baked" by high temperature.
French public opinion is highly concerned about the problem of high temperature, and there is a lot of information related to the heat every day. The first concern of the media is how to deal with the heat wave. French TV 2 has put forward a series of suggestions since the summer heat, such as avoiding going out and using electric fans. Medical experts have come forward to explain the influence of extreme heat on human body.
Affected by the Atlantic warm current, the summer temperature in France usually does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, but the number of days exceeding 35 degrees Celsius has greatly increased in recent years. Because the temperature was not high in the past summer, and important cities such as Paris have strict requirements on the appearance of buildings (for example, it is forbidden to dry clothes outdoors). ), except for the Mediterranean coast, most French urban residents do not install indoor air conditioning, and there is no place to install outdoor air conditioning outdoors, so electric fans have become the main tool to fight the heat. What the media can suggest is to pull down the blinds and drink more water during the day.
Facing the high temperature, the French government has taken a series of measures. The first is to use various official websites to disseminate reliable information, such as the website of the Ministry of Health reporting hot weather, warning who may be in danger, and setting up a "hot information hotline" for people to consult at any time. The French Supreme Council of Public Health has issued a complete guide for everyone's reference; The Ministry of Labor has issued a series of circulars to make the business community pay attention to the health of the working class. The French government has also joined hands with the media to launch charts and information on high temperature forecasts in various regions.
In a word, the environment of the earth has been greatly destroyed, and we should make greater efforts to protect the environment.
