In Greece, the night was long for the firefighters, who fought fiercely against the flames. About 50 fires have broken out in the past 24 hours. In Italy, 23 cities are on red alert because the mercury is approaching 42°C. In the United States, the city of Phoenix has been living in the furnace for days.
Near Athens (Greece), the huge plume of smoke was still visible on the morning of Wednesday July 19. The country has been burning for three days. In the night, the flames, several meters high, were visible from afar. A 20 kilometer long outbreak is of particular concern to the authorities. It devours the vegetation at the gates of the capital. Again on Thursday, highs of 44°C are expected in the country.

In Turkey, the same scenes of landscapes plagued by flames are repeated. The fires broke out in the west and south of the country, prompting evacuations. Across the Northern Hemisphere, people are suffocating. In Phoenix, in the United States, a sad record has been broken: it has been 43°C for 19 consecutive days. A resident has to adapt her outing hours, and comes to the park with her dogs from 5 a.m.
