A day that was the hottest of the year here in Germany, peaking up to nearly 40 degrees Celcius in some places. Europe's been baking under unusually high temperatures for the time of the year. Officials in France say two people have died of heat-related illness and hundreds have been hospitalized. In Spain, authorities said a wildfire broke out during a fourth day of stifling temperatures, sending out a huge cloud of ash and smoke. Two farmers died, apparently trying to flee the blaze. Attractions across the continent, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris had to be closed because of the extreme heat. Relief is now in sight, but long-term temperatures are trending up.
