<\/p>\n

\nAn extreme heatwave has hit Europe once again this week, following June’s hot spell.\u00a0High temperatures are expected to peak today, reaching as high as 39\u201440\u00b0C, with Netherlands, Belgium and Germany recording their highest ever temperatures. Paris reached a sweltering 41\u00b0C, breaking its previous record in 1947.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe map has been generated using the Copernicus Sentinel-3\u2019s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer. Whereas weather forecasts use predicted air temperatures, the satellite measures the real amount of energy radiating from Earth \u2013 therefore this map better represents the real temperature of the land surface. Clouds are visible in white in the image, while the light blue represent snow-covered areas.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn many countries, red heat warnings have been issued, including Italy, Spain and France and civilians are advised to avoid travelling and stay hydrated.\n<\/p>\n

\nSee an animation showing the land surface temperature from 25 July, compared to data recorded during the previous heatwave on 26 June 2019,\u00a0here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
