An "Extreme Heat Warning" is impacting much of Europe and several deaths are being blamed on the extremely hot temperatures.

-British authorities have described the weather system as a "national emergency" and southern Britain is under an "extreme" heat warning for the first time on record.

A heat wave broiling Europe is impacting Britian today.

Schools said they would move classes remotely. And Transport for London, the city’s transit agency, urged people not to travel Monday and Tuesday because rail tracks could bend or buckle in the heat.

High temperatures have fueled wildfires in France as water-bombing planes and firefighters work to battle flames that are spreading. 

In Spain, two people were killed in blazes. 

Firefighters have also been battling dozens of blazes in Greece, Portugal and Spain, which has faced unusually high temperatures.

With winds changing direction, authorities in southwestern France announced plans to evacuate more towns and move out 3,500 people that are at risk.
