Surely Nothing but Satan Himself Could Explain This European Heat Wave Named LuciferA devastating heat wave surging through southern Europe has earned the unofficial moniker of Lucifer, according to several news reports this weekend. Things over there do seem pretty bad, real bad, bad enough there that the only logical conclusion is Satan danced down there himself, possibly with a fiddle, and played a song which cursed the very winds themselves with the tunes of brimstone and ruin after somebody lost a bet. At least two people died over the course of the heat wave, which caused temperatures to spike as high as 4. Celsius 1. 11 Fahrenheit in southern Spain and 4. Celsius 1. 04 Fahrenheit in the French Riviera, per the New York Times. Temperatures were forecast as high as slightly over 4. Celsius 1. 08 Fahrenheit in mainland Greece. According to Agence France Presse, local conditions in Italys Campania region caused temperatures to feel much higher, around 5. Celsius 1. 31 Farenheit. Surging electrical demand in Poland caused the government to warn of possible infrastructure failures and disperse staff early. Train tracks in southern Serbia warped, the Romanian government urged Bucharest residents to stay indoors and an Italian drought which has already cost over 1 billion dragged on.
