3 injured as Gifford Fire continues to grow in SLO, Santa Barbara counties
Update, 2:30 p.m.: Two additional areas affected by the Gifford Fire have been ordered to evacuate and seven additional zones have been issued evacuation warnings. Zones SLC-263 and LPF-014 have moved to evacuation orders Sunday afternoon, according to the SLO County Office of Emergency Services. Zones LPF-011 and 013 as well as zones SLC-239, 225, 264, 298 and 262 are all under evacuation warning. An interactive map of all the zones in both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties under evacuation warning and order can be found here. Update, 12:45 p.m.: An evacuation order has been ordered for an additional area of San Luis Obispo County as of Sunday morning due to the ongoing Gifford Fire. Zone LPF-015, which had previously been issued an evacuation warning, moved to an evacuation order, according to an update from the SLO County Office of Emergency Services. Parts of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties are being affected by the fire, and all other evacuation orders and road closures are still in effect. What's the difference between evacuation warning and order? So far, one zone in SLO County remains under evacuation warning, while many others now fall under evacuation order. What does it mean for a zone to be in evacuation warning or order? According to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services website, an evacuation warning is an 'impending' danger to lives or property, and advises people to begin the process of packing up their belongings. An evacuation order is an 'immediate' danger to people's lives in the affected area, and people under this order should act swiftly to leave. Many evacuation warnings fall under the assumption that an evacuation order will soon follow for residents in a given affected area, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services website said. Will the Gifford Fire continue to grow? According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, the Gifford Fire will likely grow toward the north and or northeast tonight. In a post on its X account, the agency said due to very warm and dry conditions, as well as northwest winds predicted to gust at 15 to 25 miles per hour later Sunday afternoon, the fire could grow vertically as a result.

Rescuers call off search for 11 people presumed dead in Pakistan floods
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Rescuers in northern Pakistan on Monday called off a two-week search for at least 11 people swept away by flash floods last month, saying they are now presumed dead, a government spokesperson said. The victims were among 18 people who went missing in July while traveling from the city of Chilas to Skardu when their vehicles were carried away by floods triggered by heavier-than-normal rainfall, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesperson for the Gilgit-Baltistan government. He said rescuers found the bodies of seven people from the debris along a highway that was badly damaged by the landslide. The highway has been reopened for traffic after the repair work, he said. Pakistan recorded 36% more rainfall in July than the same period last year, according to Pakistan Meteorological Department. Since June 26, more than 300 people have died in rain-related incidents in Pakistan, according to the National Disaster Management Authority, which issued a new warning of flooding in various parts of the country. The unusually heavy rains have raised fears of a repeat of the catastrophic 2022 floods that submerged a third of Pakistan and killed nearly 1,750 people. Solve the daily Crossword

UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring
UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring By AbdelHadi Ramahi (Reuters) -The United Arab Emirates is facing surging temperatures this summer after its hottest spring ever, with temperatures soaring close to record highs at the start of August, according to data from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The extreme heat in the Gulf country is part of a broader global trend, as rising temperatures continue to reach new heights. Last year was the hottest ever recorded worldwide when global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial era levels. The temperature surge followed the UAE's hottest April and May on record, the NCM said. On August 1, the temperature in the desert town of Sweihan hit 51.8 C (125.2 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest since 2021, the NCM said. This was just shy of the UAE's all-time high of 52.1 C (125.8 F) set in July 2002, also in Sweihan. Inland areas repeatedly experienced daily temperatures above 50 C in June and July, while seaside urban centres like Dubai and Abu Dhabi consistently posted highs in the mid-forties. The NCM expects the rest of the summer to remain hotter than usual, forecasting August temperatures 0.25 C to 0.5 C above average. While the NCM has warned residents to limit sun exposure and avoid being outdoors during peak hours, such precautions aren't always possible for those in outdoor industries, like construction and agriculture. "We are whining while sitting in the air-condition... they (outdoor labourers) are working actually 24/7 in this heat," said Yasir Shahad, a visitor from Australia. Solve the daily Crossword
