Wild fire |
Portugal |
Europe baked in a heatwave that, along with forest fires fanned from the Balkans to the Atlantic, has killed at least 34 people. More than a week of fires have claimed 14 lives in Portugal and ravaged an area of forest almost two-thirds the size of Greater London. Neighboring Spain recorded its 13th death due to the soaring temperatures. In Germany, which like most of usually cooler northern Europe has not been spared, there were five heat-related deaths in one German town alone over the weekend. The heat in Britain claimed its first victims when two teenage boys drowned trying to cool off. |
