Emergency crews continue to battle wildfires ravaging parts of Spain and France. French President Emmanuel Macron said his country was battling the “most severe” situation since World War II as fires continue to rage in the southwest. • Thousands evacuated in Spain: Spanish authorities say more than 63,000 people have been evacuated from their homes near Madrid.

The wildfires are “the most painful expression of the climate emergency,” Spain’s prime minister said. • Extreme weather: The wildfires in France are so intense they have created “fire clouds,” a phenomenon that authorities say has never been seen there before. Temperatures will climb to above-average highs across fire-ravaged areas of France and Spain over the next week, with no signs of rainfall in sight.
