Europe has joined the US and Australia in widespread forest fires.
UPDATE:
UPDATE 7/19:
Even Alaska.
Alaska has seen more than 500 forest fires since the beginning of April, which have forced the evacuation of mining camps, villages, and remote cabins.
By 15 June, more than 1m acres (405,000 hectares) in the state had already gone up in flames, about the amount of acres that would normally burn in an entire fire season. By mid July, more than 3m acres of land had been torched, putting the state at risk of breaking its 2004 record of 6.5m acres (2.6m hectares) burned.
Today 264 individual fires are burning across the state.
