Italy's Palermo's international airport was shut down overnight after wildfires in the hills around the Sicilian city reached the airport perimeter and road closures made it unreachable. A video showed flames surrounding the runway. On Monday, temperatures in Palermo reached a record 47°C. Reportedly, 16 Italian cities were put on red alert by the government over blisteringly high heat.
