A record-breaking heat wave in Western Europe is responsible for more than 1,000 heat-related deaths in Spain and Portugal.
As Western Europe experiences a record-breaking heat wave, thousands of firefighters are having trouble containing forest fires in France, Spain and Portugal that have destroyed thousands of acres of land.
Monday could be the hottest day on record in the country, according to France's BFM TV. Belis, France, reached a high of 40.8 degrees Celsius -- 105.44 Fahrenheit -- on Sunday. Firefighters there are fighting 30 active fires, mostly in Castilla y Leon, Galicia and Andalusia, Interior Ministry and Catalan Authorities said.
Wildfires are happening earlier in the season, ending later and becoming more frequent because of climate change, the European Union said in a"Climate change is aggravating the situation, making countries more prone to wildfires and increasing the intensity of such events," the report said.
