The 2024-25 fire season analysis add to the growing evidence base that warming is making extreme wildfires more likely and more severe. More info in the scientific article and project website:

In Spain, several pyroCb events have triggered the largest wildfires ever recorded in the country. We talk about it in the media ⬇️

The Gifford fire in California has already burned 53,500 hectares and it is only 61% contained. There are 13 active fires burning more than 72,500. And this is not a "bad" year

He podido conversar con Clemente Alvarez de El Pais sobre como los incendios moldeaban el paisaje en California antes de la llegada de los Europeos, y como ahora las quemas prescritas pueden ayudar a gestionar el territorio

Aunque haya llovido mucho en la Peninsula en los ultimos meses, en la zona de Ourense, Leon y Zamora han vivido un año seco en respecto a los registros historicos

El incendio de Molezuelas de la Carballeda en Zamora tiene una estimación de entre 30K y 35K hectáreas afectadas y está a punto de ser el incendio más grande conocido en España desde que hay registros.

Flash floods are surging across the country this summer with more than 3,600 warnings issued already in 2025.
Experts say the main causes are:
* Record-high humidity
* A slow-moving jet stream
* Rising ocean temperatures

The area burned in the Canadian 2025 fire season has hit 5 million ha. Third active fire season in a row that combined has burned 7% of the Canadian forest. Currently we have 346 fires out of control (192 monitored out of control (OC) and 154 OC that are being actioned) so expect the number to rise.

The 2024 Park Fire was the fourth largest wildfire on record in California and burned through forests that also burned in the 1990 Campbell Fire. The image shows the Iron Mountain area.
