NASA's satellite system has captured clear images of the fires that have spread across the Mediterranean.
From Greece to Spain, from the south of France to Cyprus, from Italy to Albania, hundreds of active fires are burning forests and large green areas.
Each red dot on satellite images represents an active fire, whether large or small.
The images show the development of fires over time, those that are active today, those recorded in the last 24 hours, and those that have occurred over the last 7 days.
For last week in particular, data shows a wide spread of fires, given that it was among the hottest of the summer.
The Balkan countries and Italy have been hit by a heat wave, favoring the spread of fires. Most of the red dots on the map represent fires in forest areas.
However, some of the spots could also indicate human activity, such as factories, controlled burning by farmers in fields, or even explosions related to the war in Ukraine.
