According to the European Union's satellite observing agency, nearly 660,000 hectares of land in the European region have been ravaged by wildfires since January this year, and the heat may not be over, but 2022 has reached a record.

Although Mediterranean countries are usually the main countries in Europe where wildfires occur, wildfires have erupted in other countries this year.

Wildfires in many EU countries this year forced people to flee their homes, and buildings and forests were engulfed in fires such as Austria, Croatia, France, Greece, Portugal and Spain.

According to the European Forest Fire Information System, about 659,541 hectares of land have been ravaged by wildfires so far this year, setting a record for the same period every year since 2006.

The European Forest Fire Information System uses satellite data from the European Union's Copernican Atmospheric Surveillance Agency (CAMS), which said on the 12th that wildfire activities in southwest Europe this year have rewritten the record and warned that a large part of Western Europe is now in "extreme fire danger".
