(260724) -- ROME, July 24, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on July 18, 2026 shows firefighters fighting a fire with a helicopter at Modica of Sicily, Italy. A new round of extreme heat is tightening its grip on Europe from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, setting local temperature records and fueling wildfires, violent storms and growing safety risks. Weeks of scorching temperatures and scarce rainfall have also pushed major rivers to historic lows, disrupting shipping, industry and agriculture, while forecasters warn another heat surge could arrive around the turn of the month.
