💨 Abstract

In Greece, nearly 5,000 firefighters are battling 152 new wildfires fueled by 40°C temperatures and high winds. Extreme wildfire threat alerts have been issued for 10 regions, including popular tourist destinations. Evacuations are underway, and conditions are expected to worsen. The UK Foreign Office advises caution due to high wildfire risk but has not issued a "do not travel" notice.
