Parts of Western Europe are sweltering as they endure yet another heatwave. Those scorching temperatures and dry conditions are fuelling wildfires.
In Asia, several countries are recovering from devastating storms and floods.
And this week, dozens of cities across the U.S. are expected to set heat records.
