Sicily travel warning: Wildfires force evacuation of tourists and transport disruption

The heatwave that has been scorching southern Europe has increased the risk of fires and heat-related deaths in Italy.

Wildfires have been raging across the Italian island of #Sicily, spread by strong winds and arid conditions.

The blazes have forced residents and tourists to evacuate and caused severe public transport disruption.

#Palermo Airport, which services the island’s capital, was forced to close early on Tuesday morning after fires broke out nearby.

Catania Airport, where an accidental fire damaged a terminal building earlier this month, remains partially closed leading to fears of huge economic losses from tourism.

A north wind and #Ottawa is once again "smoked out" today, due to forest fires burning in #Quebec. The photo shows the morning sun in the smokey sky. Visibility is 3 miles (5 km) in #smoke, so have to stay indoors today with the windows all closed, as the smoke is quite toxic.

In the forest in northern Iran, there are more plastic garbage than trees and plants.

It is just sad to see how disgusting people are when it comes to taking care of the nature in #Iran.

The plastic, not only cause pollution and harms the nature, but also works as extra fuel to forest fires that are now parts of the daily life in Iran.

That and out of control deforestation is destroying one of the few green patches on the map of #Iran!

Out-of-control wildfire near Jasper, Alta., grows nearly 4 times in size since Saturday: Parks #Canada

We lose millions of adult trees with each forest fire. Something that will take decades to replace..in the mean time our CO2 emission keeps increasing and there are no real plans to tackle this deadly cycle.

Finally some rain!

We had no rain for weeks and a lot of trees in the parks were starting to die. This is badly needed present.

I just hope that those areas suffering from devastating fires get the Rian too, not just the coastal areas.

Put all my empty pots on the open to collect the rain as much as I can.
