It is very hot in Europe. The temperature is 40 degrees. Italy and Spain are very hot. People also sweat in Germany and Austria. And people sweat in Switzerland. Experts say: This heat wave lasts long. New records are possible. Nights stay warmer than 20 degrees. This is a tropical night.

Heat is bad for the body. The heart works very hard. Old people must be careful. Children must be careful too. People without a home need help. Groups like Vinzi-Werke offer safe rooms. Drink much water. Stay in the shade. Wear light clothes. Do not do sports in the sun.
