After last week's record temperatures, large parts of Europe are being warned the heat is likely to build again from the start of next week.

On Monday, Italy and the Balkans were still feeling the impact of the record-breaking heatwave that has caused thousands of excess deaths and disrupted daily life across the ‌continent for more than a week, with growing concerns over the spread of wildfires.
