Heat wave in Europe could be poised to set a new temperature record in Italy

Fires seared the Greek seaside Monday, forcing tourists to evacuate at least six different towns. The area, long a vacation oasis, has been reduced to ashes and the evacuation zone was still widening on Tuesday. 

In Italy, forecasters warned temperatures could soar to 120 degrees on Tuesday in Sicily or Sardinia. If it does, it will shatter the all-time heat record for Europe, which was set in Italy just two years ago.
