Belgium is the latest country to issue a heat alert due to extreme temperatures as the heat is expected to intensify in the days ahead, Belgium’s Royal Meteorological Institute announced.

Starting on Wednesday, maximum temperatures will reach and exceed 35°C in most regions, and an orange alert will be in effect across almost the entire country.

The United Kingdom’s health authorities have also issued a “red heat health” alert for Wednesday and Thursday as June’s all-time record temperatures are forecast to be broken.
