Humid weather and rainfall have provided some much-needed relief to Spanish authorities battling wildfires that have devastated large areas of the country for weeks. According to the European Forest Fire Information System, more than three hundred and ninety-one thousand hectares have burned so far this year. Although forty fires remain active, the recent rain, particularly in the province of León, is expected to help firefighters manage the situation more effectively.
Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, the president of the Castile and León region, has reported that firefighting efforts are progressing well due to improved weather conditions. He announced a comprehensive aid plan for those affected, which includes five hundred euros for individuals who had to evacuate and up to one hundred and eighty-five thousand euros for those who lost their homes to the flames. Mañueco highlighted the significant progress made in extinguishing the fires, attributing improvements to favourable conditions.
The fires in Galicia have severely impacted small, sparsely populated towns, forcing local residents to take action before firefighters could arrive. In response to the escalating situation, firefighting units from Germany have arrived in northern Spain, with more than twenty vehicles dispatched to assist in combating a blaze in Jarilla, located in the Extremadura region near the border with Portugal.
Furthermore, air quality has diminished in many parts of Spain due to the wildfires, with smoke affecting France, the UK, and Scandinavia, as reported by the EU’s Copernicus climate monitoring agency. In relation to human involvement, police have detained thirty-seven people on suspicion of arson and are investigating eighty-nine more. In neighbouring Portugal, over three thousand seven hundred firefighters are actively working to tackle large blazes, following a summer marked by uncontrolled wildfires attributed to climate change, which has significantly increased their frequency and intensity since the nineteen-eighties.
