The UK has had a disappointingly cool summer so far, but our European neighbours are having the opposite problem.
It was 30°C in Paris yesterday with 34°C predicted this weekend. Madrid in Spain and Nicosia in Cyprus are set to bake even more, pushing 40°C on Sunday.
A heatwave has been raging for much of the summer, prompting travel warnings for British holidaymakers due to high temperatures and associated wildfires.
