London hits 100 degrees F
London hit 100 degrees F (37 C) today for the first time since record-keeping started in 1870. Switzerland hit the same temperature and in southern Europe it went as high as 40C. Forest fires in France, Spain and Croatia blazed out of control; one firefighter was slightly injured as a WWII-era shell exploded. River traffic on the Danube was threatened by sunken ships from WWII that resurfaced due to low water levels.
