At least one person has died, and more than 250,000 people have been forced to flee parts of Western Europe on Saturday as out-of-control wildfires continued to rage in Spain and France. In France, nearly 242,000 acres have been ravaged by wildfires – which French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said was a "historic record" nearly 10 times the size of Paris. At least 197,000 people have been evacuated in France as a result of the wildfires, in what was "probably" the biggest peacetime evacuation the country has seen, Nunez said on Saturday.

Melissa has a very real chance of tying Hurricane Allen (1980) as the STRONGEST Atlantic Hurricane on record in post-season analysis. A 252 MPH wind gust in the southern eyewall. The driest eye ever recorded at -2.25 C (Meranti was the previous record at -5.00 C it’s not even close). The highest ADT estimate of all-time. A pressure of at LEAST 892 mbar. Cat 5 strength sustained for 35 consecutive hours. Multiple eyewall mergers. The lowest pressure at landfall in the Western Hemisphere. Yesterday, Hurricane Melissa joined the ranks of some of the most powerful tropical cyclones the world has seen in the satellite era. And tragically, she did so right as she made an unprecedented landfall in Jamaica.

If you're afraid of heights, look away now. Skydiver Sergei Boytsov has set a world record by jumping from a hot-air balloon at an altitude of 11,551 metres over Russia’s Altai region, per Izvestia. Boytsov surpassed the previous record of approximately 10,060 metres, set by Polish parachutists, as during the jump, he spent two minutes and 30 seconds in free fall and reached a maximum speed of 501 km/h before opening his parachute at 1,565 metres. The temperature outside the balloon was around −59°C. The project took six months to prepare and involved about 100 engineers, pilots, parachutists and technical specialists.
