ROME: Italy put 23 cities on red alert as it reckoned with another day of scorching temperatures on Wednesday , with no sign of relief from the wave of extreme heat, wildfires and flooding that has wreaked havoc from the United States to China.
Fanned by erratic winds, the fires have gutted dozens of homes, forced hundreds of people to flee and blanketed the area in thick smoke. Temperatures could climb to 43 degrees Celsius on Thursday, forecasters said. In Texas, at least nine inmates in prisons without air conditioning have suffered fatal heart attacks during the extreme heat this summer, the Texas Tribune newspaper reported. Another 14 have died during periods of extreme heat due to unknown causes.
Temperatures remained high across much of Italy on Wednesday, where the health ministry said it would activate an information hotline and teams of mobile health workers visited the elderly in Rome. Workers at battery-maker Magneti Marelli threatened an 8-hour strike at their central Italian plant in Sulmona. A joint statement by the unions said"asphyxiating heat is putting at risk the lives of workers".
