On June 13, 2024, various regions in Europe experienced disasters due to heatwaves and wildfires. Cyprus, a Mediterranean island country, faced raging fires fueled by strong winds, causing evacuations in several villages. Greece closed the ancient archaeological site of the Acropolis due to high temperatures, with many schools also shutting down. Additionally, the first major wildfire of the season erupted in southern France, destroying up to 600 hectares of forest. Efforts to contain the fires are ongoing, with authorities seeking firefighting support to combat the blazes. These unprecedented conditions have led to challenges in controlling the fires despite rain falling just three days prior, prompting emergency measures and firefighting operations to prevent further devastation.
