Description
Visitors at Rome's historic sites queue at water distribution points as Italy prepares for the peak of the heatwaves that are gripping southern Europe.
In Rome, the thermometer could rise to 42°C, beating the previous record of 40.5°C set in August 2007.
Apart from 2,500 fresh drinking water fountains, the civil protection authority has also set up 28 water distribution points throughout the city. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
