Over the past week, temperatures reached 45 degrees Celsius in some places, creating very dry conditions which have led to wildfires in some areas, destroying not only forest land, but also homes and businesses. One of them is in Greece's second biggest island, Evia, which has been burning for almost seven consecutive days. Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes on the island of Evia since last Tuesday, according to Reuters.
