Major fires near Madrid and Avila: A reality check for Mallorca

Answer

How does weather drive wildfires, and could Mallorca be affected by conditions elsewhere in Spain?

Extreme heat, wind and dry vegetation drive fire fronts and can turn small blazes into large fires quickly. Even if Mallorca isn’t experiencing large fires, demand for air support and equipment elsewhere can affect what’s available here. Local conditions still influence how a fire would behave on the island.
