Wildfires rage across France and Spain as firefighters battle to contain blazes fueled by record heat. In France, a fire near Bordeaux has burned 40,000 hectares, forcing 220,000 to evacuate and destroying 240 homes, while President Macron warns of a brutal heatwave ahead. Spain faces its fourth heatwave this summer, with fires scorching nearly 77,000 hectares—roughly the size of New York City. Officials describe the fires as “completely exceptional,” with one in France even generating its own lightning-sparking storm clouds. Despite the intensity, some progress is being made: the Bordeaux blaze has stabilized for two nights, and the Landes fire, which displaced 30,000, is now under control. In Spain, conditions near Madrid are improving, offering a glimmer of hope as authorities race against rising temperatures that could hit 40°C.
