Más de 250.000 personas han sido evacuadas de sus hogares en Francia y España mientras los incendios forestales, avivados por olas de calor provocadas por el cambio climático, continúan arrasando el suroeste de Europa.

Las autoridades francesas ordenaron la evacuación completa de la península de Cap Ferret el viernes, y desplegaron embarcaciones para ayudar a rescatar a personas del popular destino turístico.

Espesas columnas de humo de los incendios forestales también oscurecieron el cielo sobre España el viernes, mientras el Gobierno del país declaró una emergencia nacional.

Europa enfrenta incendios forestales cada verano. Pero este año el continente ha visto mucha más tierra quemada que el promedio anual para el mismo período, según datos del Sistema Europeo de Información sobre Incendios Forestales (EFFIS, por sus siglas en inglés).

Lala becomes Category 1 hurricane as it bears down on Hawaii’s Big Island

▶ Watch Video: What to expect as Tropical Storm Lala nears Hawaii's Big Island Hurricane Lala is now a Category 1 storm as it approaches Hawaii's Big Island, where it will bring heavy rain, life-threatening flooding and mudslides, as well as dangerous surf and rip currents to the area, forecasters said. The weather system strengthened into a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph Saturday. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph.In a video posted to social media Saturday morning local time, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said the Big Island was seeing about 2 inches of rain per hour. Green said somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 Hawaiian Electric customers had lost power so far. "People should be sheltering in place now," Green said. In the National Hurricane Center's latest advisory, Lala was located about 65 miles south-southeast of South Point, Hawaii — the southernmost point of the Big Island — and 275 miles southeast of Honolulu. It was moving northwest at 8 mph. The hurricane center said that Lala was "slowing down and turning northwest as it begins to interact" with the Big Island, noting that it could see "erratic motion" during this period. It was still unclear if Lala's core would make landfall in Hawaii. A hurricane has not made landfall in the state since Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
