I'm hoping Crete doesn't get it. Going there next week. Fuckall I can do if it goes up in flames.

True, but they aren't being started for the benefit of the soil.

That's not accurate. Flights to Rhodes are being cancelled. 99% of Greece isn't affected by these fires and flights are running as normal to other airports.

Not happening - Richard Tice and Julia Hartless-Bitchfce who are both climate scientists tell us its a myth and I know I trust them over Tomasz Schafernaker the qualified meteorologist
It’s cold for July. Raining, 12 degrees and fucking miserable today. Ha, ha!
As for Europe, it isn’t all baking in a heatwave. Bar the Med, much of Europe is having a nice Summer.
We’re just unlucky in Manchester that the Atlantic Jetstream has a huge and negative effect on our annual weather.

The Aborigines used to start managed fires in the Australian bush and had done for thousands of years, Then the Ozzy government and the green do gooders put a stop to it. The result were those horrendous bush fires.

Same. Got free cancellation on the hotel so will see how things are looking in a few days, then make a decision.

Fire chief says they are being started by human hands.

My son and family are off to Greece very soon and I’ve seen some of the scary footage from Rhodes. Is anyone out there in these hotspots at the moment (where there’s not fires actually raging) to give a wider view of reality on the ground ?

Finally got through to ‘On The Beach’ chat this morning, they told me as our EasyJet flight is still scheduled to leave tomorrow, that we either go, or we lose the holiday, and no refund. I asked can you guarantee that you can get us to the hotel and not leave us stuck in Rhodes airport, but they said that’s not up to them. Basically we’re going to have to go tomorrow, or lose 3 grand.

That seems at odds with what they are saying on their website...

Obviously I don't know the details of your package and I'm no expert but I would have thought the position they've taken is very difficult for them to defend.

That's the problem with On The Beach and others like them: the "Package" is actually a collection of unrelated bookings - it's not a true package where you either go or get a refund.That seems at odds with what they are saying on their website...

Unfortunately at the moment as I am sure you can appreciate this is a fast moving situation and we are still awaiting information from airlines/hotels, our Operations team are taking this on a day by day basis, liaising with local authorities in Rhodes to see what is the best course of action.
I can confirm that we are not offering any amendments for holidays due to fly within 7 days at the moment, I am sorry. If your booking is affected or cancelled, you will be given at least 24 hours notice.
I can see your hotel isn't one of the hotels currently affected by the wildfires and this is no cause for concern for our Operations team, so as it stands, your booking is still due to depart.

Ah right I see, never used them. Out of interest I had a look at their website and it says this, I wonder how that work in the case of BJC's case?

Hope you are with the same airline each way...it'd be really messy if the return carrier stops flights.
