A local rescuer in Greece says 'it defies logic' that people are risking walks alone in such extreme heat.
Three tourists, including one American, have died and five remain missing in Greece as the country faces extreme temperatures amid a string of heat waves , which have prompted authorities to close schools and historical sights.The body of an American from New York, who had been missing since Tuesday, was found Sunday on the island of Mathraki, local media reported. Another body was found Saturday on the island of Samos, where a Dutch hiker had been missing for a week.
'Greece has seen extreme temperatures arrive earlier in its summer season than ever before this year, according to meteorologist Panos Giannopoulos.'This heat wave will go down in history. In the 20th century, we never had a heat wave before 19 June. We have had several in the 21st century, but none before 15 June,' Giannopoulos told Greek state television channel ERT.
