欧洲再遭热浪袭击,世卫警告未来数周或更致命
新一轮非洲反气旋推动南欧气温升至43°C,多国发布健康警报,交通基础设施承压,海洋热浪威胁生态系统。
世界卫生组织欧洲区域主任克卢格7月8日警告,正在大西洋上空形成的新一轮热浪可能给欧洲带来更多“致命周”。葡萄牙和西班牙南部本周气温预计将达43°C,意大利同日进入今年第三波非洲热浪,10座城市发布橙色高温警报。此前6月的创纪录热浪已在法国、荷兰和比利时导致约3700例超额死亡,而此次高温范围更广、持续时间更长,南欧、中欧和英国均面临极端天气考验。
本轮高温的直接推手是一个强大的副热带反气旋,将撒哈拉沙漠的干热空气向北输送。意大利气象学家泰迪奇指出,自1975年以来该国城市气温已上升4°C,夜间最低温频繁超过25°C,呈现“超热带”特征。西班牙国家气象局数据显示,6月底地中海海面温度较常年同期偏高2.6°C,甚至超过通常8月下半月的最热水平。英国气象局则探测到英格兰东部和南部沿海出现“极端”等级的海洋热浪,海温异常偏高4至5°C,可能引发海草和贝类大规模死亡,并迫使冷水鱼类北迁。
高温对公共健康和基础设施的冲击正在显现。意大利卫生部将佛罗伦萨9日的警报上调至最高级别的红色,意味着高温对全体人口构成健康风险。英国东米德兰兹铁路公司暂停部分线路午后服务,并建议乘客仅在必要情况下出行,原因是钢轨在30°C气温下可升至50°C以上,存在弯曲风险。德国气候学家勃兰特将今夏描述为“灾难性”的,持续干旱已导致河流干涸、鱼类死亡和森林火灾,莱茵河等关键水道的航运受到限制。
面对日益频繁的极端高温,欧洲的适应需求正从清洁能源转向基础设施韧性。路透社专栏分析指出,传统沥青在持续高温下软化变形,北欧大量道路和铁路当初的设计温度区间已不再适用,聚合物改性沥青和耐热轨道扣件等材料的市场需求将上升。世卫组织强调,欧洲区域仅有不到一半的成员国制定了全面的高温健康行动计划,脆弱群体保护仍存缺口。随着反气旋预计在本周末达到峰值,并可能将高温延续至7月中旬以后,各国卫生系统和基础设施的承压能力将迎来持续检验。
