Europe is far from the only part of the world that is burning.
Ednews informs via CNN that intense heatwaves are being felt across north America, especially in the western and southern US. More than 80 people million have been advised by the government to take shelter from the "widespread and intense" heat in the region.
Wildfires have ignited over the past few days in California, burning vast swathes of forests. The biggest fire, called Rabbit Fire, had burned nearly 8,000 acres and was only 35% contained by Monday, according to authorities.
Wildfires are also burning in Canada, where nearly 900 fires were active, as of Monday, according to the AFP news agency. Close to 600 were considered out of control. Smoke from the fires is descending across the north-eastern US, similar to scenes we saw in June when the air turned a dramatic orange across parts of New York.
