Europe’s heat wave is spreading, with wildfires raging on a Spanish island and people in southeast France told to stay indoors for most of the day.
Above-normal temperatures are forecast across the continent this week, with the hottest conditions seen at the end of the weekend, according to forecaster Maxar Technologies Inc. Such extreme weather is becoming more frequent from the US to China, bringing fires, floods and violent storms as climate change increases the intensity of heat waves. That comes after the world’s hottest ever month in July.
