Spain and Italy may still be among the most popular destinations for Europeans to take their vacations, but there are signs scorching weather in southern Europe has started to change travelers' calculations on where to go in the future

According to the European Travel Commission, a Brussels-based association of European tourism organizations, the number of European tourists planning to travel to Mediterranean destinations in the summer and fall has dropped 10% compared with the same period last year.

” On Tuesday, the land surface temperature — that’s how hot the ground feels to touch — reached 45 degrees Celsius in Rome, and 50 degrees Celsius in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the city of Catania in Sicily, Italy, according to the ESA. “As climate change takes grip, heat waves such as this are likely to be more frequent and more severe, with far-reaching consequences,” the ESA said in its statement.
