It is very hot in Europe. The temperature is over 40 degrees. The heat brings many dangers. Forests burn in the south of Europe. Fire destroys land on the island Korsika.

The heat is bad in France and Spain. It is also very warm in Germany and Austria. There are strong storms in Sachsen. But the danger for forest fires stays high.

The heat is hard for the body. People think less well in the heat. There are more accidents on the road. In Steiermark more people get hurt.

Workers at the building site suffer too. Austria has new rules for protection. Firms must offer breaks in the shade. They must give the workers enough water. Helmets often get a cover for the neck.
