00:30In Italy, a few regions were planning to ban some outdoor work activities during the hottest hours of the day.

01:00We are going to get 43 degrees Celsius at the hours of more heat, for very beautiful that it is in Sevilla and there is to see it, but wait to get up soon and at the night, because other hours there are no longer.
