Major heatwaves across southern Europe have pushed temperatures above 40 degrees in countries including Italy, Spain and Greece, as local authorities issued fresh warnings over the risk of wildfires.
Severe hot weather has also been recorded in Portugal, France and Turkey, with locals and tourists alike taking shelter from the sweltering conditions.
Are you one of those sweltering in continental Europe? We’d like to hear from you. How are you managing to cope? Whether you are there on holiday or an Irish person living in a country impacted by this extreme heatwave, tell us what it feels like. How are you keeping cool and hydrated? Are you sleeping at night? How are young children coping with the heat? Do you have air conditioning? Would it turn you off future holidays in that location?
Or, if you are planning to go on holiday soon to one of the impacted areas, are you worried?
Is your community letting wild flowers grow or encouraging cycling? Could your area be one of Ireland’s Greenest Places?
