A record-breaking heatwave has gripped Europe with brutal temperatures, creating highly dangerous conditions across the rapidly warming continent.
According to CNN, hundreds of records have been broken, and many more are expected to fall as the heat rises from Wednesday to Thursday.
CNN also reported that France, at the epicentre of the extreme conditions, endured its hottest day since records began on Tuesday.
The reports, however, claim that at least 40 people have drowned seeking relief from the heat since June 18, the French Prime Minister announced on Tuesday.
The UK Met Office has issued exceptionally rare "Red Extreme Heat Warnings" for today and Thursday, with temperatures forecast to soar to at least 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit (39 Celsius), which would obliterate the UK's June heat record of 96.08 degrees Fahrenheit (36.5 Celsius).
