Authorities have issued severe heat warnings across the continent, including Spain, Germany and Italy, whilst France is set to endure temperatures of up to 43°C, according to the country’s meteorology agency.
The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning for parts of England on Wednesday and Thursday, when the UK heatwave is set to hit a peak.
