Spain is still immersed in one of the worst summers in terms of forest fires. Three times the area has already burned compared to the same dates last year. If last week the fire took the lives of 13 people and burned 7,000 hectares in Los Gallardos (Almería), these days the worst affected area is Aragón. In Los Gallardos there are still 20 firefighter teams working on extinguishing the fire, while in Orés (Zaragoza) 450 personnel are fighting a fire that, since Wednesday, has already burned 15,400 hectares and 1,000 people have been evacuated.

On Tuesday a new heat wave will arrive that will last at least until Thursday, when it will reach its “peak,” bringing temperatures of up to 45 degrees and affecting the southeastern third, Guadalquivir valley, Ebro valley, northeastern depressions, Pyrenees valleys, and the interior of Mallorca. A mass of warm, dry air with suspended dust will also settle over much of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
