Description
"Without air conditioning it is unbearable" says Alexandru, resident of Bucharest for 20 years interviewed in the Romanian capital. People try to cool off using the fountains in the city centre as a heatwave hits the country, with a code red weather warning across the nation, issued by the Romanian National Meteorological Administration. According to the same institution, the temperatures are expected to reach 42 degrees Celsius today and not dip below 20 degrees Celsius at night, with high temperatures likely to continue tomorrow. "It is very hard. You run out of breath" says Mariana, a 75-year-old in Bucharest. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
