The hottest in Europe and USA. Fires endanger human life

Most US states are under a heat warning, with temperatures expected to exceed 38 degrees over the next five days.

Meanwhile, in California, the fire has engulfed the pine forest since Friday, and while it has not yet been brought under control, it risks spreading to Yosemite National Park, famous for its giant sequoia trees.

The fire engulfed about 2,650 hectares of pine trees, damaging dozens of properties. In recent years, California and other parts of the western United States have been ravaged by large, hot and fast-moving wildfires fueled by years of drought and climate change.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the heat wave has caused numerous casualties in Spain and Portugal and continues to fuel fires across the continent.

The Italian government warned of high temperatures in 16 cities, while the country also faces an unusual drought, as well as over 33,000 fires. France, after 1 week of war, has somehow managed to bring the fires in its southern part under control. So far, Italy has reported 27,000 hectares burned, France 44,000 and Spain 19,000.

But the worst-hit country in Europe this weekend was Greece, which has been battling three major fires that have forced hundreds of tourists to evacuate. The first was the fire on the famous island of Lesbos in the eastern Aegean Sea. In the north of the country, firefighters and volunteers are fighting — for the fourth day in a row A fierce fire in the Dadia National Park, a protected nature reserve, while another outbreak engulfed the mountains near the capital, Athens.

The country is expected to see temperatures of up to 42 degrees next week, while the extreme heat could last for 10 days, increasing the risk of further fires.

In the face of extreme heat, the World Health Organization has sent guidance to central and local authorities to focus on saving lives and helping communities and residents as they cope with extreme heat.”
