Almost 8 thousand fires occuring in 25 of the 27 EU Member States resulted in 1 079 538 burnt hectares. This marks the highest burnt area in the EU27 ever recorded by EFFIS since 2006, nearly double the 2006-2024 average. The 2025 season reflects a clear trend: an earlier start, more frequent and intense heat waves, and fires reaching higher latitudes than historically observed.
