EuropeSummer came early this year as \u2019 was overwhelmed by record-breaking temperatures.<\/p>\n

In May, mercury peaked at 37\u00b0C for the first time in \u2019, France, while in London, England, it broke the monthly record with temperatures reaching 34.8\u00b0C\u2019. The same goes for Ireland with an unprecedented temperature. It's 30.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

However, according to the European Environment Agency \u2019's report titled \u201cOverheated and Underprepared, the majority of EU citizens, that is, 68%, have no air conditioning (air conditioning) or ventilator system in their homes.<\/p>\n

Which countries struggle the most to afford air conditioning?<\/b><\/p>\n

Although some countries do not need it (Europe is not equally hot everywhere) more than one in three people () says they can't afford to buy air conditioning.<\/p>\n

In some of the hottest regions of the continent, the numbers are particularly high: France in \u2019 , Greece\u2019da , Portugal\u2019de and Spain\u2019da (), Italy\u2019da () and Romania\u2019da () more than a third.<\/p>\n

It is a worrying picture given that more than one in four EU citizens are over 65 years old and some of the oldest populations are concentrated in countries such as Italy, Portugal or Greece.<\/p>\n

It is also Malta (%8.5) and Luxembourg () and Ireland () emerged as the countries with the least problems with air conditioning or fan systems.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other ways to keep homes cool, such as shutters, awnings, or exterior shading.<\/p>\n

Spain (although, from Portugal () from Italy () or Cyprus\u2019ta () The majority of people say that their homes do not even have these characteristics.<\/p>\n

Warm weather is more worrying than other climate issues<\/b><\/p>\n

That doesn't mean people aren't worried about high temperatures.<\/p>\n

Heat, for EU citizens () is the number one concern about climate; The Flood (), fires (.5) or water shortage (.5) is more.<\/p>\n

Concerns are particularly high in the Mediterranean\u2019: the Cyprus \u2019 , Greece\u2019da and Malta\u2019da %From extremely high temperatures of 70, \u201cmuch \u201d or \u201cmuch \u201d says they are concerned.<\/p>\n

In addition, about half of AB\u2019's respondents are already at home (%Fifty, that's it.) and %More than 60\u2019 in their own neighborhood () It feels very hot.<\/p>\n

There is no air conditioning: Italians and Germans face post office queue hell in summer<\/b><\/p>\n

Local communities report mixed heat responses from local authorities, and it seems quite rare to come across any public building equipped with \u201c or air conditioning to \u201d refrigeration centers in general.<\/p>\n

Italians in particular seem doomed to melt; only for the \u2019i reports using air conditioning in public buildings; In Germany, this figure is even lower in \u2019, %7. Greece, Malta and RomaniaIn \u2019, this rate is much higher; About the citizens \u2019i benefit from refrigerated public spaces.<\/p>\n

Greeks love air conditioning but stay away from trees when arranging Cyprus work schedules<\/b><\/p>\n

Planting trees seems to be a cheaper, more coherent and environmentally friendly option, and the EU residents \u2019si says they have seen this applied in their circles.<\/p>\n

However, the proportions of tree plantings reported in \u2019 in Hungary \u2019dan Greece\u2019da only %Since it varies up to 22\u2019ye (third lowest rate across the EU), purchase rates vary widely.<\/p>\n

Another reaction on the hottest days may be to adjust work or school schedules.<\/p>\n

However, only EU citizens \u2019i complied with these measures; Replies Cyprus\u2019ta \u2019 to Portugal\u2019 only %It varies up to 8\u2019e.<\/p>\n
