Until now, scientists have struggled to reproduce this weather phenomenon in their models. Some wildfires are large enough and hot enough to create their own weather systems. Scientists estimate that tens to hundreds of storms created by these blazes occur around the world each year. The trend of increasingly severe fires, fuelled by climate change, […]
Researchers found that weather conditions which drove deadly fires in Türkiye, Greece and Cyprus were made more intense by climate change. They expect similar results from their ongoing analysis of blazes in Spain. Weather conditions that fuelled deadly wildfires in Türkiye, Greece and Cyprus were made more intense by climate change, new research has found. […]
