STORYLINE:
Romania sweltered under an unrelenting heat wave Wednesday as temperatures reach up towards 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
‘’It is very hot, it's getting hotter," said Bucharest resident Mihai, who added he was having to use his motorbike's cooling fans on maximum power.
The people of the capital took to parks and fountains to cool down, with some taking the opportunity to sunbathe.
Marion, who was visiting from Germany, said she might take a break from cycling for a few hours due to the high temperatures.
Temperatures have started to build for what is forecast to be an extremely hot weekend across southern Europe, especially in Italy and Spain.
