00:00
Extreme weather has affected large parts of Europe over the last few days.
00:06
In Portugal, 284 excess deaths were recorded during the ongoing heat wave,
00:12
almost all of them people aged over 85.
00:15
It comes after the country recorded its hottest ever temperature in late June.
00:20
The extreme heat is expected to continue.
00:23
In neighbouring Spain, more than 18,000 residents were placed into lockdown as wildfires continued to burn.
00:31
Large parts of Spain are on high alert for wildfires after the country experienced its hottest June on record.
00:38
Meanwhile, France is also attempting to put out wildfires.
00:42
Flights have been suspended at Marseille Airport because of a fire that is raging close to the southern French port city.
00:48
Authorities urge people to stay indoors. The wildfire risk remains high.
00:55
And in Greece, the Acropolis closed for several hours as temperatures exceeded 40 degrees.
01:03
I'm very disappointed because it's the second time I come here and second time it's closed.
01:07
So I feel like I came for nothing and you know the ride to come here is very, very climbing.
01:13
So it's hot, it's very hot.
01:16
In Hungary, severe thunderstorms battered the country,
01:20
uprooting trees, downing power lines and paralyzing rail traffic.
01:24
The storm left many homes without electricity.
01:29
Croatia also saw heavy flooding and wind damage,
01:32
while other Balkan countries are still battling heat waves and wildfires.
01:37
The storm left many homes without electricity.
01:38
So I think you can see the weather.
01:39
Though the storm right sky first is finally reaching the flash in the middle of the storm.
01:50
The storm right now is storage.
01:52
And there's no time that the storm's going to cover.
01:54
The storm right now is a storm.
01:55
And if you haven't seen the storm right now,
01:58
the storm right now has to get rid of the storm right now.
02:00
The storm more is exposed.
02:01
The storm right now fell behind the snow right now.
