"The hellish infernos that have torn through parts of France and Spain have
caused deaths, the evacuation of 330,000 people from their homes, widespread
destruction and clouds of toxic smoke. Records have already been smashed and
with the fourth heatwave of the European summer setting in, there are few signs
of the waves of wildfires ending.
France has already surpassed the worst previous year for the size of the area
burned, with August, usually the hottest month, yet to come.
In Spain, the cumulative number of fires in 2026 has also set a new record for
this time of year, and the cumulative burnt area remains just below the level
reached by late July during a devastating fire season in 2022."
