Wildfires have engulfed Turkey for weeks, threatening Bursa, the country’s fourth-largest city and forcing over 1,700 people to flee.

In the northern province of Karabuk, where a large wildfire has been burning for five days, 1,839 people in 19 villages were evacuated, Yumakli said. Three planes and 16 helicopters are tackling the blazes in the area amid difficult conditions, he added.

Isolated thunderstorms are in the forecast for Sunday, followed by increasing heat and humidity Monday and Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Additionally, the state has issued an air quality advisory for Sunday until midnight for Long Island, as well as New York City and all the way through the upper Hudson Valley.
