Tourists and residents in southern Europe are struggling to stay cool during “hellishly hot” days, as authorities place extreme heat warnings on millions of people.
The heat has come largely from hot air blowing in from Africa, which meteorologists forecast will continue through Sunday. Temperatures are expected to peak at 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit).
In Italy, two firefighters died putting out a blaze in the Basilicata region in the country’s south, authorities said.
