Whilst England suffers severe flooding, large areas of Europe are suffering under a heatwave. In Romania, more than 30 people have died and the authorities have issued a "red code" weather warning after temperatures soared to 41 degrees celsius for two days in a row. In Greece and Serbia, emergency services are on alert after temperatures climbed to the mid forties fuelling forest fires. And in Turkey, the government has told civil servants who are pregnant or who have health problems to stay at home to avoid exposure to the heat.
