Mexico is fighting 159 active wildfires across the country amid the year's second heat wave. Mexico's national weather service issued an alert that at least 12 states would experience temperatures higher than 45C (113F). The heat wave has increased demand for power, leading to blackouts in regions.
Mexico's national forest commission reported the wildfires spread across 75,474 hectares, with 30 fires in protected natural areas. The country's power grid operator declared a state of emergency twice due to power demand exceeding supply.
