Summary
Pass advertising Pass advertising A fire that broke out on Thursday, some 100 kilometres north of Madrid, has grown in size, reducing to smoke more than 12,000 hectares and causing the evacuation of several hundred people, the local authorities announced on Sunday. Spain has just experienced one of the most deadly fires in its recent history, a forest fire that was declared in Andalusia (south) on 9 July, killing 13 people and ravaging 7,000 ha. In 2025, more than 393,000 ha were ravaged by flames, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (Effis), the worst record in recent Spanish history.
Furthermore, Nearly 82,000 ha have been burned down since the beginning of the year in the country, according to Effis. At the forefront of global warming, the country has experienced increasingly long and frequent heat waves in recent years, with temperatures well above 40°C, creating favourable conditions for devastating fires. Scientists say human-driven climate change is increasing the length, intensity and frequency of heatwaves, which dry out vegetation and contributing to the likelihood of wildfires.
In addition, Spain is on the front line of climate change and has experienced incrementally long and frequent heatwaves in recent years, with temperatures well above 40 deg C, creating conditions leading to devastating fire.
