This burned area is larger than Cyprus. The previous record was in 2017, when approximately 998,000 hectares were lost to fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EFFIS data show that Spain and Portugal have suffered the most, accounting for about two-thirds of the total burned land. During the peak of mid-August (Aug 5\u201319), a severe heatwave overlapped with a sharp increase in wildfire activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least eight people died in Spain and Portugal; roads and train services were disrupted. In Spain (Castile and Leon region), 10 fires were still active and about 700 people were evacuated. In Portugal, one of the largest fires (Pi\u00f3d\u00e3o) burned more than 60,000 hectares and was extinguished only after ~12 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EFFIS also estimates that these fires have emitted <strong>about 38 million tonnes of CO\u2082<\/strong> so far this year \u2014 more than any other year at the same stage. If trends continue, 2025 could exceed the annual record of 41 million tonnes of wildfire emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate change \u2014 with more frequent heatwaves, droughts, and dry conditions \u2014 is making wildfires more likely and intense. Land-management practices (e.g. clearing dry vegetation) are also crucial to limit fire spread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kc_post_selected_socio_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[26],"tags":[144],"class_list":["post-64070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-from-the-world","tag-news-progetto-baunow"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
