          Record heatwaves sweep the world from US to Japan via Europe

          ROME — Record heat is forecast around the world from the United States, where tens of millions are battling dangerously high temperatures, to Europe and Japan, in the latest example of the threat from global warming.

          Italy faces weekend predictions of historic highs with the health ministry issuing a red alert for 16 cities including Rome, Bologna and Florence.

          The meteo centre warned Italians to prepare for “the most intense heatwave of the summer and also one of the most intense of all time”.

          The thermometer could hit 40 degrees Celsius in Rome by Monday and even 43C on Tuesday, smashing the record 40.5C set in August 2007.

          The islands of Sicily and Sardinia could wilt under temperatures as high as 48C, the European Space Agency warned — “potentially the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe”.

          Greece is also roasting.

          “Parts of the country could see highs as much as 44C on Saturday,” according to the national weather service EMY. The central city of Thebes sweated under 44.2C yesterday.

          The Acropolis, Athens’s top tourist attraction, closed for a second day straight today during the hottest hours with 41C expected, as were several parks in the capital.

          Access to the Unesco-listed archaeological site dating to antiquity is being suspended from midday to early evening “to protect workers and visitors”, the culture ministry said.

          Regions of France, Germany, Spain and Poland are also baking in searing temperatures.

          China has for weeks been hit by extreme weather — from heavy rains to suffocating heatwaves.

          Parts of eastern Japan are also expected to reach 38 to 39C tomorrow and Monday, with the meteorological agency warning temperatures could hit previous records.

          But relentless monsoon rains have reportedly killed at least 90 people in northern India, after burning heat.

          The Yamuna river running through the capital New Delhi has reached a record high of 208.66 metres, more than a metre over the flood top set in 1978, threatening low-lying neighbourhoods in the megacity of more than 20 million people.

          Major flooding and landslides are common during India’s monsoons, but experts say climate change is increasing their frequency and severity

          Americans are watching as a powerful heatwave has stretches from California to Texas, with its peak expected this weekend.

          A heat dome has been baking the southwestern states all week, posing serious health risks.

          In Arizona, one of the hardest-hit states, residents face a daily endurance marathon against the sun.

          State capital Phoenix was to record its 15th straight day above 43C today, according to the National Weather Services.

          Authorities have been sounding the alarm, advising people to avoid outdoor activities in the daytime and to be wary of dehydration.

          The Las Vegas weather service warned that assuming high temperatures naturally come with the area’s desert climate was “a DANGEROUS mindset! This heatwave is NOT typical desert heat”.

          “Now the most intense period is beginning,” it added, as the weekend arrived with record highs threatening tomorrow.

          California’s famous Death Valley, one of the hottest places on Earth, is also likely to register new peaks tomorrow, with the mercury possibly rising to 54C.

          Southern California is fighting numerous small wildfires.

          Last weekend, sweltering temperatures killed 10 migrants along the US border with Mexico, the Border Patrol said.

          In Iraq, where scorching summers are common, along with power cuts, Wissam Abed said he cools off from Baghdad’s brutal summer by swimming in the Tigris river.

          But as Iraqi rivers dry up, so does the age-old pastime.

          As temperatures near 50C and wind whips through the city like a hair dryer, Abed stands in the middle of the river, but the water only comes up to his waist.

          “I live here… like my grandfather did before me. Year after year, the water situation gets worse,” said the 37-year-old.

          While it can be difficult to attribute a particular weather event to climate change, scientists insist global warming — linked to dependence on fossil fuels — is behind the multiplication and intensification of heat waves in the world.

          The heatwaves come after the EU’s climate monitoring service said the world saw its hottest June on record last month.
