💨 Abstract

British tourists in Greece are warned of ongoing wildfires near Athens due to a severe heatwave, with temperatures reaching 44°C in southeast Europe. Dry conditions and high winds are exacerbating the situation. Residents in Kryoneri, north of Athens, have been evacuated. The Foreign Office advises British tourists to be cautious due to the high risk of wildfires. Greek authorities have sought assistance from the EU for firefighting efforts.
