People flock to beach of Fuengirola August 10, 2003 as Europe's searing
heatwave continued and was forecast to continue into the weekend, after
killing people and fanning wildfires accross the continent.
Meteorologists blame the heat on high pressure reaching from west of
the Iberian Peninsula into central Europe, along with a depression from
North Africa stretching into the peninsula. REUTERS/Rafael Marchante
