Extreme weather and wildfires in Europe and North America

Overview

Europe and North America are experiencing severe extreme weather, characterized by widespread wildfires and flooding. In Europe, the total area burned has exceeded 529,000 hectares, a 13 percent increase over the 2012–2025 average. Specific incidents include massive fires in Serbia’s Deliblatska Pescara nature reserve, wildfires near the Croatian border in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and dual fire and flood crises in Spain. Poland has also reported thousands of incidents related to storms and heavy rain.

As the situation progressed, wildfire activity intensified in both North America and Europe. In the United States, 95 active fires are being managed, with Canadian smoke affecting air quality. In Europe, evacuations reached significant levels, including 63,000 people near Madrid. In France, reports indicate that 160,000 hectares have burned, resulting in 450 destroyed houses and four firefighter fatalities. Officials have noted that emergency responses have struggled due to equipment being ill-suited for forest environments, while experts link these intensifying seasons to long-term climate trends such as drought and rising temperatures.
