Huge fires and smoke. This is what the image from the Meteosat-12 meteorological satellite in geostationary orbit, 36,000 km above Earth, shows us about Albania and Greece.
Fires in Albania have caused extensive damage, and as a result of the flames, residents of several villages in the affected areas have been evacuated.
In Greece, fires have also caused damage, with the most affected areas being Achaia (near Patras), Preveza and the islands of Chios and Zakynthos.
The spread of fires in the region has been exacerbated by recent high temperatures, low humidity and strong winds, which have made it more difficult to control the fires.
Across Europe, the 2025 fire season has been more destructive than usual.
According to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), an area of over 439,500 hectares has been burned by fires across the EU since the beginning of the year, which is double the reported average of 218,400 hectares recorded up to this time of year over the last 19 years (2006-2024).
