Spanish authorities have allowed thousands of people evacuated because of wildfires to return to their homes after restrictions were lifted in the areas of Toledo, Madrid, Ávila, and Castellón.

Keep caws and horses roaming free in the woods all year round
Forbid access to forest reserves when the temperature exceeds 32ºC
One thing we have learned in the American West is that when these fires get going through dry fuels. there is nothing you can do to stop them. Just keep the firefighters safe while protecting as many structures as you can. The fires will not stop into fall weather stops them .
Fun fact: London’s long-term average daily high for July is 23°C. This July: 26°C, 25°C, 27°C, 29°C, 28°C, 32°C, 31°C, 33°C, 34°C, 29°C, 27°C, 28°C, 26°C, 29°C, 28°C, 27°C, 27°C, 21°C, 21°C, 25°C, 22°C, 25°C, 26°C, 28°C, 29°C, 26°C, 27°C, 29°C, 34°C (Source: Accuweather) That makes the current average for July, 2026, 27.3°C or a full 4°C above the long-term average. Moreover, also sourced from Accuweather, here are the forecast temperatures for the last 2 days of July: 27°C, 26°C. If we add those temperatures and take the projected average for July we get 27.4°C! For Britain, that’s hot! Surely, 2026 has now surpassed the 1976 benchmark ‘hottest’ summer that everyone in the UK uses as a reference. 2026 is the new 1976! 🥵
Professor Martin Pall, emeritus of biochemistry and basic medical sciences at Washington State University, said that EMFs cause plants to produce far more highly volatile and highly flammable turpenes. He said that it's like spraying gasoline. He expects far more wild fires due to 5G.
Glad to see people getting back home, but these heatwaves are becoming a final boss level we can't beat. Hope they keep the streak of safety going. Stay safe out there!

It’s a relief that people can finally go home, but seeing these heatwaves become a yearly occurrence is worrying. We really need better urban planning and reforestation strategies to make these regions more resilient to fire. Maybe implementing more "green belts" around residential areas could help mitigate the risk for next season?

Tough to see those evacuations, but it’s a huge win that folks are finally getting back into their homes in Toledo and Madrid. Glad the tide turned on those fires. Do you think these extreme heatwaves are becoming the new normal for Europe, or is this just a freak spike?
