💨 Abstract

A temporary closure of Adnan Menderes Airport in Turkey, necessitated by rapidly spreading forest fires, has disrupted flights, including one delayed over 20 hours. Fires, exacerbated by strong winds and high temperatures, are affecting popular tourist areas like Izmir, Antalya, and Mersin. Local authorities have urged caution as most fires are suspected to be human-caused. The Turkish government is battling these fires with continuous efforts from firefighters.
