Noodweer in Noord-Italie terwijl zuiden nog met hitte kampt

Summary

Het noodweer heeft vannacht een dode geeist en veel schade in Noord-Italie veroorzaakt, waaronder in Lombardije, Milaan en om het Gardameer. Er zijn veel meldingen gekregen van schade aan auto's, met tennissbal-grote hagelstenen als gevolg. Terwijl het noorden van Italië met noodweer te maken heeft, kampt het zuiden nog steeds met extreme hitte. Ook Zwitserland is getroffen door noodweer, waarbij een vijftiger om het leven is gekomen. Hittegolven in Zuid-Europa zijn zonder klimaatverandering 'vrijwel onmogelijk'. Zuid-Europa zet zich schrap voor nog meer loeihete dagen.
