WorldFrance wildfire risk remains ‘extremely high’ despite modest weather improvement

France’s wildfire danger remains “extremely high,” Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said, even as weather conditions improved slightly. Persistent drought and rapidly spreading fires continue to threaten areas across the country. Higher humidity and weaker winds have eased conditions somewhat, but authorities still handled 26 fires nationwide on Wednesday, July 29. Nunez warned that vegetation remains highly combustible, keeping the risk elevated.
