NewzFrance and Spain are bracing for a fresh heatwave this week, with temperatures expected to reach the low 40s Celsius. The extreme heat poses a significant risk of new wildfires and threatens to complicate ongoing efforts to contain existing blazes in the Gironde region of France and areas near Madrid, Spain.
Firefighters and emergency services are preparing for a sharp rise in temperatures beginning Wednesday, which authorities fear will set back progress made in controlling current fires. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited a command post in Navalcarnero to assess the situation as officials issue warnings regarding the heightened danger across the region.
