> Wildfires and falling water levels have affected parts of Europe during July and August. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed, while residents have been evacuated as firefighters across the continent work to contain the flames. Severe drought has also left reservoirs and rivers with unusually low levels, adding to pressure on water resources across the region.
