We are in direct danger. People die; This is extreme, stay home PHOTO

The heat wave threatens human health and makes the terrain suitable for fires.
Last week's heat wave named Kerber is followed by a new one that Italian forecasters named Charon, after the ferryman of Hades from Greek mythology who transports souls to the underworld.
Italy, Spain and Greece have been dealing with relentless heat for days, but the European Space Agency has warned that the heatwave is just beginning. In Italy, which has been particularly hard hit, temperatures are expected to rise above 40 degrees Celsius in many cities.
Hannah Cloke, a climate scientist and professor at the University of Reading, compared the effect of the heat wave to that of a giant furnace over the Mediterranean.
"The bubble of hot air that exploded over southern Europe turned Italy and the surrounding countries into a giant pizza oven," she said.
The prolonged intensity of this heatwave and brutally hot tropical nights (20°C+) for millions across Southern Europe will build accumulating heat stress over the coming days that will not allow many to recover from the hot daytime temperatures, threatening public health and increasing the risk of heat illnesses.
Additionally, a marine heatwave ongoing in the Mediterranean Sea will intensify the heat on land by increasing moisture levels in the air, making the extreme heat feel even more "humid."

Southern Europe's extreme heatwave will continue for the next 7+ days as a record-strong heat dome parks overhead, bringing extreme heat for days on end.
In Sicily and Sardinia, temperatures could reach 48C (118.4F), threatening the record for the highest temperature in pic.twitter.com/Jn6vfA6vu6
