Greece is experiencing the hottest temperatures it has seen in 50 years
With temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, Greece is enduring the worst heat wave the nation has seen in more than 50 years.
On Saturday, an emergency operation was conducted on the island of Rhodes to evacuate more than 1,500 people from the five-day forest fire.
Greece has now seen 11 days of extreme heat, and the country's meteorological department has issued a lengthy weather warning, the longest the country has ever experienced.

The nation is grappling with both the extreme heat and the many forest fires that have broken out around the nation.
Greece's government has since issued a warning against leaving the country if possible due to the record-breaking heat.
