Germany and France are facing a record heatwave and widespread wildfires, with authorities arresting over 2,300 people to facilitate evacuations. In Germany, around 1,800 people have been evacuated due to a forest fire near the Belgian border, as authorities work intensively to contain the flames. In France, the heatwave that began on July 28 is ongoing and is cited as the third longest recorded, with temperatures expected to rise to 40°C in central regions and Île-de-France. Wildfires continue, leading to the evacuation of 525 people in the Land department, fueled by rising temperatures and drought that have contributed to the growth of dry vegetation.
