Türkiye prepares for week of extreme heat

Türkiye is expected to come under the influence of a heat wave similar to the one currently affecting much of Europe from this weekend, prompting experts to issue warnings, particularly for residents in coastal regions where humidity is expected to make conditions feel significantly hotter.

Europe is baking under one of its strongest heat waves in recent years, with temperatures reaching dangerous levels across a vast area stretching from Spain and France to Germany and the United Kingdom.

France on June 24 recorded its hottest June day since records began in 1947, according to the national weather agency, while nearly 94 million people across Europe were expected to face temperatures above

35 degrees Celsius this week, most of them in France and Spain.
