Wildfires escalate in England and Wales
Britain has experienced an unprecedented rise in wildfires during a heatwave expected to last until November, with the number of fires this year surpassing previous record figures, totaling over 1,017 fires by mid-August. The high temperatures, which reached 38.1°C— the fifth highest temperature in the country's history— have destroyed homes and fields, and sparked fires across multiple areas, also causing disruptions to roads and train services. Authorities are warning that the crisis may worsen and are working with the military to bolster firefighting efforts, as the wildfire season is expected to continue for several more weeks.
