Greece Faces Severe Heatwave, Acropolis Temporarily Closed
As a severe heatwave grips Greece, authorities have temporarily closed the Acropolis and imposed restrictions on outdoor work due to soaring temperatures. The monument, a major tourist attraction, has been shut for part of the day as temperatures are expected to reach up to 43°C. To ensure safety, work breaks have been mandated for outdoor workers, while beaches near Athens are filling up as residents seek relief from the blistering heat. The situation has raised concerns about power grid stability and increased wildfire risks across the country.
