Recent data indicates that the last two weeks of July have seen a significant number of large and rapid fires. This period is notable for being one of the worst in over 40 years. The number of large fires in Spain has decreased by half compared to 40 years ago.

However, the size of each fire has increased substantially, with the average fire being more than double the size of those in the past. Further information on this trend can be found through El País, which provides more details on the current state of large fires in Spain and how they compare to historical data.
