A heat wave is sweeping through much of Europe, with temperatures hitting 43 degrees Celsius (109.4 Fahrenheit) in southern France. This extreme heat has raised wildfire risks in Hungary and Bulgaria, and has led to evacuations in northwestern Turkey. The heat wave began on Friday and is expected to continue all week, affecting other countries like the U.K. as well.
