Multiple European countries (France, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Croatia, Albania, and Belgium), Western Canada and the parts of the north west United States are battling wildfires amid an intense heat wave, with high temperatures and dry conditions fueling fires across parts of the continent. Evacuations, road closures and transportation disruptions in affected areas may interfere with local postal operations and last-mile delivery networks.

Customers shipping to impacted regions should anticipate the possibility of delays in mail and parcel delivery, particularly in communities affected by active fires, evacuations or restricted transportation routes. Conditions remain fluid, and additional disruptions may occur as wildfires and extreme heat continue.
