1:16Now PlayingGlobal health officials say more than 1,300 deaths have been linked to the record heat wave blanketing Europe.
That toll is likely to rise, as France alone reported at least 1,000 deaths above normal last week during some of the country's hottest-ever days for the month of June.
In Berlin over the weekend, police shot water cannons to cool down sweltering crowds.
On Monday, temperatures soared to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Budapest, Hungary, far above normal — even for summer.
Meanwhile, tens of millions of Americans are also under extreme heat warnings this week. Triple-digit temperatures will bake the Midwest and East Coast as the country prepares for July 4 celebrations.
