English-Polish translations for heat wave

upałSusze, fale upałów, powodzie oraz pożary pustoszą Europę. Droughts, heat waves, floods and fires are devastating Europe. Chociaż sucha, bezdeszczowa zima, a potem fale upałów były zwiastunami groźnych pożarów, nie zapewniono dostatecznej ochrony. Although the dry, rainless winter and then the heat waves were harbingers of serious fires, inadequate protection was provided. Jak możemy zapomnieć, że na skutek fali upałów w lecie 2003 r. w dziesięciu krajach europejskich odnotowano ponad 70 000 przypadków zgonów? How can we forget that after the summer 2003 heat wave more than 70 000 additional deaths were recorded in some ten European countries?
