Multiple sources report that human activity accounts for about 90% of wildfires in the region, with fine fuel moisture codes above the 96th percentile and unusually wet winters in France and Spain preceding large blazes. France's Gironde fire and Spain's Avila-Madrid-Toledo fire have burned tens of thousands of hectares, displaced over 325,000 people, and prompted evacuations of 220,000 and 89,000 respectively. Data on hectares burned and firefighter deployments come exclusively from left-center outlets.
