Andalusia Wildfire: Over 4,000 Hectares Burned on August 8, 2026
A forest fire burned over 4,000 hectares in Andalusia, southwest Spain, on August 8, 2026, driven by winds of 40 to 50 km/h. This summer, other European countries are also affected: 42,000 hectares have burned in southwest France, and Greece is experiencing vast wildfires. A new heat wave is forecast for France, Spain, and Italy starting the week of August 10. Researchers confirm that wildfire risk increases each year in connection with human-caused climate change.
