The fires started very early this year. “Since March 23, Cams scientists have recorded significant fire activity in various parts of Spain,” the statement said. Valencia was particularly impressed. As a result, Spain recorded record levels of emissions in May, previously seen only in 2012. It was stated that the risk of wildfires increased further “due to the high temperatures and drought that hit the continent last winter”.

Fires in Canada, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and some neighboring parts of Russia were also above average. In May, one of the highest levels of emissions ever recorded was recorded in Canada. The province of Saskatchewan was particularly hard hit. The previous emission record for this region in May was two megatons – exceeded by more than ten times (23 megatons) this year. British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and the provinces of Nova Scotia also recorded record fire emissions.

There was also a risk of forest fires in several areas in Switzerland this spring. Forest fires also broke out in Ticino in February and March.
