Europe breaks more heat records as wildfires rage

Europe has broken more heat records in early August, with Austria hitting 41.2C, Slovakia 42.2C, and Hungary 41.8C, surpassing a 1905 record. The heat dome has dried soil, fueling wildfires across Italy, France, Serbia, and Bulgaria, and dropping Danube water levels to an all-time low, affecting nuclear plants. Meanwhile, Typhoon Dolphin hit China, and Typhoon Chan-hom threatens Japan.
