The Financial Times is ringing in their report, warning that several densely populated cities are at risk of both heat and floods, between them and the Athens.

According to the report, the Amsterdam, Houston and New York are in danger of being affected by floods while the Austin There is a high risk of fatal fires.

In addition to Athens; Lisbon, Naples and Kraistchers They also belong to the areas at risk of Heat and floods.

As experts say, they do not know when these disasters could occur, however, many of these cities have already reached dangerously near the disaster.

“Next year there will be a big fire that will destroy a large community. But we have absolutely no idea where this will happen,” said Guillermo Reine, a fire brigade at Imperial College London, speaking to the Financial Times.

Scientists also refer to some “lucky” cities that have not experienced an extreme climate so far. These are areas where natural geography, climate conditions and urban planning have been combined to create an excellent risk.

However, many of these cities have already reached dangerously near disaster.

The Financial Times sets as an example the fire that broke out last August in Athens, which reached the outskirts of the city and specifically at Pressing Halandri. In fact, the flames stopped shortly before reaching the city center, where they could cause serious damage.

Dr. Thomas Smith, a specialist in environmental geography by the London School of Economics and Political Science, told the Financial Times: “What was missing was the element of the wind.”

If there were strong winds, such as Santa Anna’s winds that caused the fires in Los Angeles, the situation could be much more serious.

While climate change does not directly cause fires, it makes the conditions for severe fires significantly more likely.

The Fire risks rise from the heated climate, which creates dry vegetation, extreme high temperatures and strong winds.

The World Weather Attribution – a network of researchers from the US, the United Kingdom and some other European countries – warned that the warm, dry and stormy conditions that led to the fires in Los Angeles were about 35% more likely due to global warming.

In the United Kingdom, unusually warm spring weather means that the country has already surpassed the record for fire -destroyed land.

Since the beginning of 2025, more than 113 square miles (292 square kilometers or 29,200 hectares) have been burned by fire raging throughout the country.

However, it is not only the fires that are a threat to cities that remain stagnant around the world. According to Moody’s analysis, about 2.4 billion people live in areas at risk of floods caused by river overflows or sudden floods.

In the US, Dallas, Houston, Washington, New York and Sacramento are at extreme risk of flooding due to climate change. Dallas, in particular, is particularly threatened by floods due to the rapid growth of the city.
