Europe’s hottest town says climate change is reshaping daily life
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported12m ago
Residents of the Sicilian town of Floridia—which registered Europe's highest-ever temperature of 48.8 degrees Celsius (119.8 degrees Fahrenheit) in August 2021—report that extreme heat is reshaping their daily routines. The record-setting temperature transformed the town into a symbol of the continent's warming climate as it emerged from COVID-19 restrictions.
Five years following the temperature milestone, locals indicate that the severity of extreme heat is no longer defined solely by numerical records, but rather by its persistent disruption to everyday life and the immediate environment.
