of california and nevada will be dangerously hot in the coming days. we definitely took the time to take extra precautions. we brought a cooler full of water and we are making sure everyone stays hydrated. it is the hottest place on earth. this is hot. it's never been hotter. with the extreme heat come wild fires. firefighters in the region say the air is so dry that much of the water dropped by aircraft to quell the flames evaporates before it reaches the ground. as soon as you get these hot temperatures and these extreme drought conditions, that leads to the explosive growth on these wildfires, so not only are we dealing with these temperatures that are breaking records, affecting more than 30 million people, now, as those wildfires grow, in the coming days we are going to have to watch the air quality impacts in the region. in northern california, nearly 200 square miles of forest have been closed, and homes have been evacuated close to the nevada border, while in idaho the governor has declared a wild fire emergency and mobilised the state's national guard.

because of our drought that we just came out of this winter, our fuels, the trees, the shrubs, they are very, very dry, and so as we extend through the summer, we can expect larger fires. so, it's quite challenging, the months ahead. the national weather service has advised those in the region to drink plenty of water and stay inside air conditioned buildings. the high temperatures are expected to continue well into next week. the final of euro 2020 is taking place in wembley right now. a italy 1-1 place in wembley right now. a italy 1—1 england. 89a minutes gone of six minutes of extra time, such as two left in normal time. if no—one scores, we go to 30 minutes of extra time and if no—one scores after

that, then it is penalties. so, how did we get here? let's take a quick look at how exactly italy equalised. this was in the second half. england had been on top but italy then did this from the corner, eventually. a director's, eventually bundling it of the dates, and italian fans going wild. a that was the equaliser at. we have to go right back to the second minute of the full game for the england goal, this is luke shaw, great cross, great finish, kept his head down, back of the net, england went wild and they looked good in that first half but couldn't hold onto the lead and it is still 1—1. how are the fans are hung coping with all this? trafalgar square, central london, an iconic spot, a bit underwhelming. eight attention,

you can feel it, they want to be celebrating wildly but that italian equaliser means they are pretty subdued. going to rome and pretty quiet there too. it is unbearable if you are italian or an england football fan right now. let's look at what else we can head around the country. preston, we can see fans there. it's tense, even for fans hundreds of miles away from wembley. coventry, what's happening there? anger at a refereeing decision there, i think. anger at a refereeing decision there, ithink. but anger at a refereeing decision there, i think. but if we go back to there, i think. but if we go back to the match, we are done, 96 minutes played, but a final free kick, the match, we are done, 96 minutes played, but a finalfree kick, these are the dying seconds of normal

time, can england clutch it? no, not with that attacked. we will leave it there can keep you right up—to—date. that's lacks a little and get the weather now. hello there. it looks as though we're to see something a lot more like summer as we move into the new week. major change in weather pattern. much of the summer has been wet because of low pressure close by, as we have now, bringing the rain. that's because the jet stream has been to the south of the uk. hop the other side of the atlantic, run things on a bit, we have much more amplification of the jet, meaning we'll find a strengthening jet running to the north of the uk, allowing high pressure too slowly but surely build up from the southwest and settle things down. things are not settled at the moment, though. we have rain developing and pushing its way eastwards across england and wales, northwards too, so turning wetter here, some heavy bursts of rain. does turn drier across scotland with the thundry downpours moving away, and largely dry overnight in northern ireland. a touch cooler here, warm with the cloud and rain in england and wales.

still some heavy bursts of rain in the morning. the rain moving slowly northwards, it may ease for a while with sunshine coming out in places, triggering the thundery downpours. scotland, but also in particular towards the southeast of england and east anglia, the threat of some localised flooding by the end of the day. not as wet for northern ireland, wales and perhaps the south west, and should be a bit warmer than it was today. low pressure with us for the start of the week, hence that flooding rain in places. the low transfers out into continental europe, most of the thundery downpours are away the other side of the channel. but the low is close enough by to bring the threat of heavy showers towards the south east but generally, we have fewer, lighter showers, turning drier from the west, bit more sunshine coming through, so temperatures a little higher on tuesday. and it continues to dry out during wednesday as that rain pushes away. yes, we'll find a weak weather front arriving in the northwest, bringing more cloud, but otherwise dry and decent spells of sunshine.

as a result, those temperatures up to 25 degrees. it won't get hot just yet, we have the high pressure building in towards the uk but this is where the air is coming from, more of a northerly breeze. but certainly an improvement as the week goes on. starting wet with flooding rains in places. from midweek onwards, much drier with sunshine and looks as though summer is coming home at last.
