🔥 Abstracts open for PLINIUS19, Murcia, 6–9 Oct 2026! With @tmgiannaros.bsky.social & Mario Miguel Valero Pérez, I’m convening PL8: Current and emerging challenges of wildfires. Submit your wildfire/fire risk abstracts: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/Plinius19/se...

🔥 New paper in npj Natural Hazards. Analysing 11,403 wildfires across Mediterranean Europe (2008–2022), we show that megafires emerge when drought aligns with extreme fire weather, especially warm nights and strong winds near ignition. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #Wildfires #ClimateChange

Abstract submission is now open for the 19th Plinius Conference on Mediterranean Risks (6–9 Oct 2026, Murcia, Spain). Deadline: 17 May. meetings.copernicus.org/plinius19/

🔥 New paper out in Science Advances We detect a clear externally forced signal in the global increase of extreme fire weather days since 1980. Using reanalyses and CMIP6 simulations, the fingerprint of change emerges above natural variability. 📄 doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Extreme fire weather days are increasing worldwide. Since 1979, days with FWI > p95 have risen globally, closely tracking global warming. More heat → more fire-conducive conditions.

Human exposure to wildfires in Catalonia has increased markedly over the past 30 years—driven not by more burned area, but by urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. Figure below shows the trend clearly. DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

An incredible effort, only made possibly by an incredible global network of fire scientists! Some folk on Bluesky: @pyrogeog.bsky.social @marco-turco.bsky.social @climate-guy.bsky.social

New in Global Change Biology: Hydroclimatic rebound—wet periods fueling vegetation growth, followed by rapid drying—drives extreme fires in California’s non-forested biomes. Findings improve early warning & fire forecasts. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

🎉 New in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: “Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate.” We quantify a ~65% rise in extreme fire‑weather days (1980–2023) and show common daily‑proxy methods can overestimate trends by up to 10%. doi.org/10.1038/s416...

Happy to share our new paper: we show that human-caused climate change is raising the odds of extreme climate-driven fire years across forested regions of the globe @climate-guy.bsky.social @pyrogeog.bsky.social rdcu.be/evJkX #ClimateChange #Wildfires
