1:00Now PlayingMuch of Europe remains in the grip of a record heatwave.
Afternoon temperatures in France have topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit this week, leading to a number of deaths in a country where air conditioning is not the norm. At least three children under the age of 4 have died in France after being in overheated cars. At least 40 people have died of drowning, as they sought relief in cooler waters.
In Spain, a monitoring agency said an estimated 212 deaths could be attributed to the heat from Sunday to Wednesday. This week, the London Ambulance Service recorded the highest number of life-threatening emergencies ever.
Deadly heatwaves like this one are more common because of climate change, which is primarily caused by burning fossil fuels.
