Intense heat wave grips Northern Europe

An intense heat wave has begun to grip Europe this week and Germany, France and Belgium have already started to experience extreme temperatures that are set to continue in the coming days. 

It is predicted that temperatures are expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in Germany on Wednesday, topping the country's previous June record of 38.2 degrees Celsius, set in Frankfurt in 1947. 

Fire fighters have been placed on alert as Forest fires are of particular concern for authorities in Germany, especially in the northeast. 

As a precautionary measure, residents were asked to keep windows and doors closed in Lieberoser Heide — southeast of Berlin
