<p>Meteo France raised the hazardous weather warning to “red” today – the highest level – for the Marseille and Montpellier areas in southeastern France, forecasting hazardous temperatures of 42C-45C (107F-113F).</p>
<h5><strong>Read:</strong> <a href="http://londonglossy.com/france-put-on-hot-weather-alert-as-heatwave-reaches-europe/">France put on hot weather alert as heatwave reaches Europe</a></h5>
<p>It was the first red alert Meteo France has activated since a four-level weather “vigilance” system was introduced following an estimated 15,000 heat-related deaths in France during a 2003 summer heatwave.</p>
<p><em>“A heatwave of this amplitude so early in the year, in June, is exceptional,”</em> Meteo France meteorologist France Christelle Robert said.</p>
<p><em>“We should expect more intense and frequent heatwaves with climate change, because it will accentuate the extremes.”</em></p>
<p>The Italian health ministry said seven cities, including Florence, Rome and Turin, were already at Italy’s highest heat warning level today.</p>
<p>On Friday, 16 cities would be under alerts for high temperatures.</p>
<p>The Italian authorities have instructed people to avoid being outside during the hottest hours of the day and to stay away from areas with a lot of vehicle traffic to prevent ozone exposure.</p>
<p>In France, a red extreme weather warning advises extra precautions for children and older people and cautions that even those in good health are at risk of heat stroke.</p>
<p>Most of the rest of France remained on the next highest “orange” alert.</p>
<p>In Paris and other big cities, including Marseille, authorities banned older cars as high heat exacerbates air pollution.</p>
<p>Amid the blistering weather in Europe, hundreds of firefighters struggled to contain a wildfire in northeastern Spain that forced the evacuation of 53 residents.</p>
<p>Firefighters said temperatures over 30C (86 F), low humidity and high winds had fanned the flames.</p>
<p>In the Czech Republic, where a new June temperature record was set this week, gorillas and polar bears at Prague’s zoo kept cool by eating their own version of sorbet.</p>
<p>Zookeepers presented the animals with big blocks of frozen water with ingredients to suit their tastes.</p>
