Infernos devastate forests as Europe's temperatures rise again

Wildfires have ravaged over 42,000 acres of land across Portugal, Spain, France, and Greece, with temperatures expected to reach 40°C. The fires forced evacuations, disrupted daily life, and threatened a stage of the Tour de France. Residents described the intense conditions, including thick smoke and the presence of fire trucks. Scientists linked the extreme heat to climate change, noting that such heatwaves would have been 'virtually impossible' without global warming. Authorities warned of an early and prolonged wildfire season, urging caution. In Greece, fires damaged industrial sites, prompting health warnings, while in Spain and France, firefighting efforts faced challenges due to high temperatures and numerous ignition points.
