  How coverage compares

  Fire crews in France and Spain are racing to contain wildfires as a new heatwave approaches, threatening to complicate efforts. Over 70,000 people have been evacuated in Spain alone, with more than 56,000 in the Madrid region. Temperatures near 40°C are forecast, prompting warnings that firefighting will become harder. The BBC reports Spain’s regional leader described the situation as dire, while The Guardian cites the UN climate chief warning that "the costs of the climate crisis are now reaching national emergency levels." Both outlets note the heatwave, expected to last until Sunday, will hinder containment.
