The European meteorological satellite Meteosat-12 in geostationary orbit 36,000 km above Earth has captured images of smoke from the large fires that have affected Albania and Greece.

Smoke from large fires is visible in the area belonging to the territory of Albania, where efforts have been ongoing for days to bring under control many large fires, which have caused extensive damage and led to the evacuation of villages in the affected areas.

As highlighted by the meteorological station, the spread of fires in the region has been exacerbated by recent high temperatures, low humidity and strong winds, which have made the fires more difficult to contain.

Across Europe, the 2025 fire season has already been more destructive than usual. According to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), an area of over 439,500 hectares has been burned by fires so far across the EU since the beginning of the year, which is double the reported average of 218,400 hectares recorded up to this time of year over the past 19 years (2006-2024). /CNA
