Fire clouds and their impact on European wildfires
Experts warn that the ongoing wildfires in France and Spain may have produced an unprecedented pyrocumulonimbus cloud, a fire-generated thunderstorm that can reach high altitudes and produce lightning and strong winds. Such clouds can accelerate wildfire spread and pose additional dangers to firefighting efforts, with climate change increasing the frequency of these phenomena. This may be the first time a pyroCB has been explicitly considered in France, highlighting the potential for more severe and complex wildfire behavior in the region.
