Europe is facing a heatwave as temperatures reach a record-high across Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Montenegro.
People have been cooling off at a fountain at Madrid Rio Park while animals at Madrid Zoo have been offered watermelon ice pops and an apple to stay cool.
Dangerous blazes blast across Portugal as climate change brings very hot summers. Hundreds have been evacuated from their homes due to air conditions as the World Meteorological Organization issues health warnings. Hot winds fill the air with smoke and ash from forest fires.
People have also gathered at Alimos beach in southern Greece as temperatures reached 40C. The high temperatures and drought conditions have also heightened the risk of forest fires, according to civil protections officials.
