A new hot wave starts in Italy. It is the 4th hot wave this summer. It gets very hot from Wednesday. The temperature climbs to 35 to 40 degrees. This heat stays until August 10. Hot air from Africa is the reason.
The heat is bad for old people. It is also hard for sick people. The air does not cool down at night. The temperature often stays above 20 degrees. People call this hot nights. Wet air makes it harder.
It does not rain for a long time. Rivers and lakes have little water. The big lake loses much water. This is bad for animals and plants. Farmers have big worries. Cows must go back to the valley early.
The dry weather brings many forest fires. Tourists must flee with boats in Apulien. Fire fighters fight the fire. It gets very hot in Austria and other lands too.
