Wildfire crisis eases in western Europe but worsens in Greece as winds drive new blazes
Wildfires in western Europe have eased, with major fires in France and Spain no longer advancing and Portugal's main blaze under control. However, the crisis has worsened in Greece, where gale-force winds drove new fires and triggered evacuations, particularly near the 2018 Mati wildfire site. Climate factors like rising temperatures and drought are exacerbating fire risks.
