It is always a good idea to follow common sense : Do not go off on a hike alone at the hottest time of the day. Do not venture alone in remote, inaccessible areas one has never been before. Have adequate supply of water. Have a fully charged mobile phone. These are basic precautions.
Good to know also that there were heatwaves in 1947. Kind of reassuring!
Sadly, that's not very reassuring. The 1947 heatwave that affected much of Europe, was the peak of a long drought that impacted central Europe from around 1945 to the early 1950s. The peak temperature in Elba was 37.3 degrees Celsius. Since then, heatwaves have increased in intensity, frequency, and duration, and these trends expected to worsen as global warming accelerates
