Portugal & Spain Declare State of Emergency due to Intensive Heatwave
Rana Atef Portugal declared a state of emergency from Sunday to Thursday due to an intense heatwave threatening to spark widespread wildfires across the country, according to Minister of Internal Administration Maria Lucia Amaral. Authorities predict that temperatures will range between 36 and 44°C, with a significant drop in humidity levels, which increases the risk of fires in rural areas and forests. The extraordinary measures imposed by the Portuguese government include: A ban on entering or staying in forested areas. A prohibition on lighting fires or carrying out any burning activities. A ban on the use of heavy machinery in rural areas. A suspension of all permits related to fireworks or incendiary materials. These measures coincide with similar preparations in Spain, which is also facing a heatwave that may lead to wildfires in some of the southern and western regions of the country. Europe is experiencing an unprecedented and catastrophic summer in terms of the intensity of forest fires. High temperatures and drought conditions have sparked thousands of fires that have ravaged vast areas of land. According to the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, record levels of greenhouse gas emissions have been recorded that have not been seen in over two decades. According to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), by the end of July, over 292,000 hectares in EU countries had been consumed by fires—more than double the amount burned in the same period last year, surpassing the average for the past 19 years. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Heat eases in Cairo as southern Egypt swelters under 42°C highs - Society
Temperatures have started to fall in northern Egypt following a week of intense heat, offering some relief to residents in Greater Cairo and parts of Upper Egypt, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). In the capital and surrounding areas, daytime highs are expected to hover around 34 degrees Celsius, while coastal cities along the Mediterranean will see milder conditions closer to 30 degrees. But the heat remains unrelenting in southern Egypt, where temperatures are forecast to reach up to 42 degrees — continuing a scorching spell that has gripped the region for weeks. Northern Upper Egypt will also stay hot, with highs of 38 degrees. Nights are expected to be relatively warm but more tolerable, helped in part by active winds sweeping across much of the country. However, gusts may stir up sand and dust in parts of the Western Desert. Early morning fog is likely to form on roads in and out of Cairo, the Canal Cities, and parts of Sinai, potentially reducing visibility for drivers. There's also a chance of light rain in the far south, with brief showers forecast in Halayeb and Shalateen on Sunday and Monday. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
