EU Forest Fires Surpass Yearly Average
Europe experienced its worst recorded year for wildfires in 2025, with the fires destroying over a million hectares across the European Union. The average annual burned area over the past twenty years was around 388,000 hectares. The fires necessitated the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in France and Spain, as firefighters continued battling the blazes near the cities of Bordeaux and Madrid. The intensity of the fires led to the emergence of unprecedented "fire clouds" in France, and temperatures are expected to rise in the coming week without any rainfall, further increasing the risk of ongoing and worsening wildfires.
