Mallorca on Alert: Highest Wildfire Warning Level and Scorching Heat – What to Do Now

Answer

Why is the wildfire risk so high in Mallorca right now?

The risk rises when intense heat, dry air and wind combine with vegetation that has dried out over a long period. In Mallorca, abandoned mountain areas and dense undergrowth also add fuel, making fires spread more easily. Human causes such as cigarettes, illegal barbecues or sparks from vehicles can then turn dangerous conditions into a fire.
