The heat in Britain was so hot that the runway melted
Forest fires have engulfed south-western Europe in the last weeks. Many people have died and many people are falling ill. According to the data, this summer season in Europe is hotter than expected. According to experts, if the temperature in European countries is compared to that of India, then it is much higher. The region has experienced as much heat as India has not experienced in the last decade. Leave aside the people, even the infrastructure here is not ready to withstand this heat. On Tuesday, the temperature in Britain went up to 41 degrees, while other places also saw a historical increase. Things are so dire that the runway in Britain has started melting.
Flights suspended
In some parts of the UK, runway melting due to extreme heat has been seen. On Monday, flights at Luton Airport, which is about 50 kilometers from London, had to be suspended after some part of the runway was damaged due to the extreme heat. This information was given by tweeting on behalf of the airport itself. The airport reported that some problems were observed on the runway surface due to very high temperatures. Some part of it had gone up. Very high temperatures were recorded in London on Monday as well. After a few hours it was operated on.
Railway gave a warning
On Monday, people were also warned not to leave their homes on behalf of London’s Midlands Railway. The railway said in its warning that the track is 20 degrees hotter than the air, that is, if the temperature rises, then it will flatten and bend. Trains in London run at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
On Tuesday, these trains were canceled and in some places their speed was reduced to less than 30 kilometers per hour. Britain’s Transport Minister Grant Shapps has expressed concern over this whole situation. He said, “Roads and runways have started melting and the rail network is also on the verge of faltering. This infrastructure was not prepared for this temperature.
What is the reason for so much heat
It has been told by the Meteorological Department that for the first time a temperature of 40.3 degrees has been recorded in Koningsbe in East England. Experts have blamed climate change for this. He has warned that worse conditions are yet to come. He says that the temperature will be higher than this and it will be very normal. At this time in June, a research was published with the title ‘Environmental Research: Climate’. In this research, scientists have studied the effect of climate change on the weather of a country. Ben Clarke, a scientist at Oxford University and co-author of the study, said, “Heatwaves around the world have become more severe and the reason is only climate change.”
