ATHENS/MILAN – The vast heatwave covering swathes of Europe moved steadily eastwards, forcing countries including Italy, Poland, and Slovenia to issue their highest heatwave alerts as firefighters battled wildfires across the continent.
Greece, which contained a huge wildfire that raged near Athens for two days and was fanned by high winds, urged Europe to do more to tackle climate change. Fueled by climate change, wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity in many countries, spreading smoke that contains noxious gases, chemicals, and particulate matter that can be damaging to health.In Poland, the authorities issued heat warnings for many parts of the country, with temperatures as high as 36.7 Celsius measured in the western town of Kornik. In the northern port city of Gdansk, many residents and tourists headed for local beaches to cool down.
ANSA also reported that a fire that began in northern Italy near Carso has spread across the border to Slovenia, damaging an area of over 2,000 hectares.
