In a world facing a changing climate, this summer, the Mediterranean region is the scene of many fires, from Greece to Algeria and from Italy to Portugal. The impact of climate change on the severity and increasing number of these fires can no longer be denied. Today, it is essential to realize that we will have to face a significant increase in fires in the future. It is therefore crucial to prepare for it as well as possible. Satellite images provided by Planet highlight the scale of these fires, with some extending across a region.

Unsurprisingly, ongoing climate change is having a significant impact on increasing the severity and frequency of fires around the Mediterranean. Since the beginning of the summer, many fires have broken out all over the Mediterranean and if for the time being France has been spared, it should be remembered that last year the Gironde was affected by fires on a scale unprecedented in this century. Below are some satellite images provided by PLanet, which show several localized fires in Greece, Italy, and Algeria.
Satellite images are a valuable means of assessing the extent of fires, which can sometimes reach regional proportions, as in Rhodes or Corfu, for example.
Global warming extends fire seasons
The impact of climate change on the severity of fires, whether in intensity or frequency, no longer needs to be demonstrated. It is therefore necessary to be aware of this new reality and to prepare to face more fires in the future, which are increasingly important and which will also affect a greater number of people.
