A severe heat wave has been affecting Europe, with France experiencing extreme temperatures. The country's public health agency reported around 1,000 additional deaths last week, which is a significant increase. Temperature records have been broken in the region, leading to wildfires in Germany.

Authorities in Berlin have taken measures to cool down crowds, using water cannons to do so. Further details about the heat wave and its impact on Europe are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including information on the record-breaking temperatures and the measures being taken to mitigate the effects of the heat.
