Surf conditions declared dangerous at P.E.I. National Park Friday
Surf conditions in P.E.I. National Park are considered dangerous at the moment, Parks Canada warned in a social media post late Friday afternoon. "To ensure visitor safety, entering the water is not recommended," the agency said in a news release, citing the danger from rip currents. Those hazards form when waves break near the shoreline, piling up water between the breaking waves and the beach. Swimmers can become trapped in the rapid current and be swept offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, it's recommended you stay calm, tread water and conserve energy while attracting attention. Swimmers can also try to swim parallel to the shore until they are out of the current. The best defence against a rip current is to stay on the beach.

Acropolis to Close in the Afternoon Due to Heatwave
Greece's culture ministry on Tuesday ordered a partial closure of the Acropolis, the country's top monument, to protect visitors amid heatwave conditions. The ministry in a statement said the site would be closed from 1:00 to 5:00 pm (1000 to 1400 GMT) "for the safety of workers and visitors, owing to high temperatures." The four-day heatwave that began Sunday is the second to grip Greece since late June. Temperatures in the country are expected to reach 42 Celsius (107.6 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, with a maximum of 38 Celsius in Athens. Similar temperatures are expected Wednesday. The 2,500-year-old Acropolis, built on a rock overlooking the capital that offers little shade, draws tens of thousands of visitors daily. Last year it recorded some 4.5 million visitors, an increase of over 15 percent compared to 2023.
