Annual Report on Forest Fires in Europe, Middle East and North Africa 2018

The European Commission published the 2018 edition of its Annual Report on Forest Fires in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. According to the report, wildfires destroyed nearly 178 000 hectares (ha) of forests and land in the EU last year. While this is less than one sixth of the area burnt in 2017, and less than the long-term average, more countries than ever before suffered from large fires.

The highest numbers of fires of 30 ha or larger were mapped by the European Forest Fire Information System in Italy (147 fires, 14 649 ha burned), Spain (104 fires, 12 793 ha burned), Portugal (86 fires, 37 357 ha burned), the UK (79 fires, 18 032 ha burned) and Sweden (74 fires, 21 605 ha burned) during last year.

The 2018 edition of the Annual Report on Forest Fires also notes that in 2019 the fire season started early, because of dry and windy conditions, with high temperatures. Already by March this year, the number of fires was higher than the average for the whole year in the last decade, with numerous fires in mountain regions and critical fires in the Danube delta.

Informe Anual sobre Incendios Forestales en Europa, Oriente Medio y África del Norte 2018

La Comisión Europea publicó la edición de 2018 de su Informe Anual sobre Incendios Forestales en Europa, Oriente Medio y África del Norte. Según el informe, el año pasado los incendios forestales destruyeron casi 178 000 hectáreas de bosques y superficie en la UE. Aunque esta cifra representa menos de una sexta parte de la superficie quemada en 2017 y es inferior a la media a largo plazo, hubo un mayor número de países afectados por grandes incendios.

Según el Sistema Europeo de Información sobre Incendios Forestales, el mayor número de incendios de 30 ha o más se produjeron en Italia (147 incendios, 14 649 ha quemadas), España (104 incendios, 12 793 ha quemadas), Portugal (86 incendios, 37 357 ha quemadas), Reino Unido (79 incendios, 18 032 ha quemadas) y Suecia (74 incendios, 21 605 ha quemadas) durante el año pasado.

La edición 2018 del Informe Anual sobre Incendios Forestales también señala que en 2019 la temporada de incendios comenzó pronto, debido a las condiciones secas y ventosas, con altas temperaturas.
