0:04Thank you so much for joining us.

0:07It has been a summer of extreme weather.

0:10Smoke from explosive wildfires in Canada is spreading into the United States.

0:15Life-threatening flooding hitting Texas.

0:17The National Weather Service elevated their warning to a flash flood emergency in some areas.

0:23Spain and France are now facing their fourth heat wave this summer, which is now threatening to make wildfire conditions even worse.

0:31But we could have said that about last summer.

0:34We're standing by for an update any moment from Texas officials on the devastating flooding that has killed at least 51 people.

0:41It is yet another very hot day across huge parts of Europe.

0:46The big peak of this heat wave appears to have been on Tuesday when records were reached.
