Around the world | Climate change is manipulating the European continent, and after heat waves, the Etna volcano erupts again
Arabia Weather - The European continent is still witnessing a long and exhausting heat wave, and for several days temperatures have risen remarkably in some areas, as many areas on the European continent recorded temperatures exceeding forty degrees Celsius.
Weather forecasters at the Arab Weather Center said that the weather forecasts are not promising for Europeans, as the outputs of weather maps still indicate that vast areas of the European continent, especially the southern ones, will continue to be affected by the heat wave as a result of the continued expansion of the African highland towards the region.
Temperatures are in the late thirties and exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in some areas
The latest weather data from the Arab Weather Center indicates that the heat wave is expected to intensify today, Tuesday, and in the coming days in some European countries, as temperatures are expected to exceed the forty mark in Bucharest in Romania, the capital Belgrade in Serbia, Moldova, and some areas south of Ukraine and Italy, while temperatures exceed the mid-thirties in Spain, Greece and Bulgaria.
Etna volcano erupts again, and what does climate change have to do with it?
Coinciding with the heat wave, the Italian island of Sicily witnessed a new eruption of Volcano Etna on Tuesday , coinciding with the heat wave that Italy is exposed to. The significant rise in temperatures resulting from climate change may have played a role in the volcanic eruption, but this cannot be confirmed.
Etna Volcano is an active volcano on the eastern coast of Sicily, near Messina and Catania. It is one of the largest active volcanoes in Europe now, and the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology announced on Tuesday that the volcano, which is approximately 3,300 meters high, has begun spewing ash and lava again. The institute stated that the height of the rising ash reached about 6,000 metres, and according to the Italian press, a fall was observed. Ash falls on residential areas surrounding the volcano in Viagrande and Asiccastelo.
