Athens authorities were forced to shut down the Acropolis this week as temperatures exceeded 40C in much of central and southern Greece.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the only European country experiencing unseasonably high heat so early in the summer, raising fears that last year\u2019s weather extremes will be repeated. Mediterranean tourist hotspots have been particularly hard hit, with temperatures along T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s coast soaring as high as 12C above seasonal norms and wildfires breaking out in the Paphos district of Cyprus. Spain, too, has felt the effects of extreme weather swings, with heavy flooding forcing Palma Airport to ground flights and a yellow warning for rain put in place in Murcia.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of a wider trend, with global temperature records being broken consistently over the past 12 months and \u2018weather whiplash\u2019 bringing unprecedented droughts and flooding. While experts warn that the primary driver is human-caused climate change, the El Ni\u00f1o weather phenomenon has contributed to higher temperatures over the past year. This is now entering a transitional phase that some hope could bring a little relief towards the end of summer &#8211; though the knock-on consequences on weather are hard to predict.<\/p>\n<p>So what should you do if you have a holiday planned in southern Europe this summer? Euronews Travel spoke to climate and insurance experts to find out what to expect and what you can do if your trip is impacted by extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p>Does travel insurance cover trips impacted by extreme weather? Travel insurance is designed to cover unforeseen events, such as emergency medical expenses, lost or stolen belongings and last-minute cancellations. In some cases, you can be reimbursed if your trip is cancelled due to extreme weather &#8211; but certain conditions usually apply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the case of cancelling a trip due to an extreme heatwave when no government advisory is in place, travel insurance may not provide coverage for trip cancellations,\u201d explains Jonathan Frankham, general manager of travel insurance provider World Nomads Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2024\/06\/17\/europes-summer-heatwaves-should-you-cancel-your-holiday-when-extreme-weather-hits\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/europes-summer-heatwaves-should-you-cancel-your-holiday-when-extreme-weather-hits\/\">Europe\u2019s summer heatwaves: Should you cancel your holiday when extreme weather hits?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14956,9713,5172,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-europes","tag-heatwaves","tag-summer","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131587\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
