France and Spain continue to battle wildfires, as temperatures are expected to soar past 40C in some regions in the coming days.
Spain's national weather service says the severe weather is forecast to last until "at least" Sunday, and warns of "extreme" fire risks as firefighters continue to battle the some of the worst blazes in the country's history.
France's south-west regions Gironde and Landes are under "yellow alert" for a heatwave expected to peak on Wednesday, further hampering efforts to contain "very unpredictable" blazes in Gironde.
The mayor of Bordeaux has said he is preparing for "all eventualities", as one of the wildfires burning in France is 15km (nine miles) from the south-western city.
