Unusually high temperatures were also forecast in coming days across a swathe of countries not accustomed to the heat
Much of Europe is bracing for yet another heatwave following periods of scorching temperatures that have driven rivers to record lows, ignited historic forest fires and contributed to thousands of deaths.
Parts of Britain and France were already under extreme heat warnings on Monday, with forecasts of temperatures around the mid-30s Celsius.
Unusually high temperatures were also forecast in the coming days across a swathe of countries not accustomed to the heat, such as Switzerland, Austria and Hungary.
