From the NYT – “The wildfires torching Spain and France are a culmination of Western Europe’s extreme summer, in which record-setting heat waves and dry conditions set the stage for vast areas that could easily ignite.
Scientists said broiling temperatures last month, which hit both Spain and France, were made likelier because of the burning of fossil fuels.”

Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from 26 July of the area around the ESA Cebreros ground station. Posted by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher. Wildfire activity has subsided. Operations at the station are active again. The extensive burn scar (shown in brown-red) still contains smaller active fires, while more intense fire activity persists to the south. #ClimateChange #Climate 14/n
