New forest fires in Greece caused by lightning strikes
Environment
Lightning strikes have triggered new forest fires in Greece. At least 10 of the 44 fires in the last 24 hours are due to this. Experts see the reason in climate change, which already favors fires in spring or autumn. Increased temperatures and persistent drought create more fuel for the flames, making firefighting more difficult.
