또 끓어 오르는 유럽...스페인 44도까지 치솟아 / YTN

[Anchor] Europe, which has already suffered multiple deaths due to an unprecedented May heatwave, is once again on high alert. With temperatures soaring well above 40 degrees, there are concerns that significant casualties will occur again. Reporter Shin Woong-jin reports. [Reporter] The French meteorological agency forecasted that temperatures on Sunday, the 21st, local time, will reach 40 degrees and rise to 42 degrees in some areas. The annual nationwide music festival, 'Fête de la Musique,' is currently in a state of emergency. Authorities have issued the highest-level red heatwave alert for more than one-third of the country's administrative districts and banned alcohol consumption at the street festival. [Valeria Caloca / Mexican Tourist: I wanted to go to the music festival tomorrow, but honestly, I'm not sure. I might have to change my plans.] [The entire festival is being held outdoors, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay outside all day.] In northern and central Italy, sweltering temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius are forecast for the first time this year, prompting advisories for local residents and tourists. In Spain and Portugal, temperatures are predicted to soar to 42 degrees, with some areas expected to reach 44 degrees. The UK Met Office stated that there is a possibility the record high for June temperature of 35.6 degrees, set in 1957 and 1976, could be broken. As the bottom of the Vistula River, Poland's lifeline, has been exposed, the widened sandy beaches have been taken over by people. Due to drought and high temperatures, the river has dried up, making it difficult for water buses to operate; climate change is also cited as the cause. [Marek / Ferry Captain: Anything can happen. It isn't raining, and it isn't snowing in the winter, so where on earth is the water coming from?] The heatwave sweeping across Europe is expected to peak on Monday, the 22nd.
