Widespread smoke and haze-filled skies remain over the Pacific Northwest as wildfires continue to burn in the region.

The Canadian fire weather outlook is now available. Expect significant fire activity in BC and NWT as well much of the US West during the outlook period. This week Dr. Cordy Tymstra contributes a section entitled El Niño official arrives. www.tru.ca/wildfire/res...

@ecmwf.int invites tenders to develop complementary applications for the Solar Radiation service segment under #CopernicusAtmosphere, using CAMS solar radiation, aerosol and associated Copernicus datasets to support decision‑making in the solar energy sector. Deadline: 15 Sep 2026 ⬇️

Wildfires west of Athens, Greece, seen from space 🔥 Captured on 2 August 2026, these images show the event at different scales: on the left, Copernicus Sentinel-2 shows the burned area and smoke plume, while on the right, Sentinel-3 shows the wider extent of the smoke across parts of Greece.

Have you explored the 2025 European Air Quality Assessment from #CopernicusAtmosphere? As emissions fell, air quality trends improved, yet PM2.5 & ozone episodes persisted, linked to winter cold spells, summer heatwaves, Saharan dust & severe wildfires on the Iberian Peninsula. @ecmwf.int ⬇️

With prolonged hot weather, and wildfires burning across the UK and Europe, what does this mean for air quality in the affected areas or places downwind? ncas.ac.uk/what-do-wild... #earth-science #SciComm 🧪

What do wildfires mean for air quality? - NCAS

Wildfires can have significant impacts on air quality, as wildfire smoke contains a mixture of hazardous air pollutants.

With prolonged hot weather, and wildfires burning across parts of Europe and North America, we explain what these events mean for the climate: #earth-science #SciComm 🧪 ncas.ac.uk/what-do-wild...

What do wildfires mean for climate change? - NCAS

Wildfires contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere, and by triggering vegetation changes.

Smoke from wildfires can travel thousands of kilometres, crossing borders, oceans & continents. Understanding where it will go next is the challenge. Learn about wildfire smoke's health impacts & how forecasting & early warnings help communities prepare. 🔗https://bit.ly/4w7RiC8

France and Spain are facing some of the worst wildfires in recent history. In Southwestern France, intense wildfires have generated 'fire clouds', also known as pyrocumulonimbus. Fire clouds are signs of extreme weather & heat, & can make already dangerous wildfires even harder to predict & contain.

Wildfires affect communities, ecosystems and the atmosphere worldwide. Driven by weather, climate and human factors, they threaten lives, worsen air quality through smoke pollution and contribute to climate impacts. What you need to know: wmo.int/themes/wildfires

In addition to the potential unfolding WUI wildfire disaster in Spokane, WA, numerous other large & fast-moving fires (existing & new) are blowing up under extremely critical fire weather conditions & severe drought conditions from eastern slopes of Cascades eastward into ID/MT.

From early May to mid-July 2026, soil moisture conditions deteriorated across France. Copernicus helps monitor these conditions and supports authorities with preparedness and early warning activities. This animation shows drier than usual conditions expanding and intensifying over time.

Human-induced climate change made the extreme fire weather that fuelled the recent destructive wildfires at least twice as likely in France and at least 20 times more likely in Spain, according to our new study.

Remarkable amount of fire on the ground, and smoke in the air, this evening. In this satellite snapshot, numerous large fires (red thermal detections) and smoke plumes stretch from Great Basin northward into British Columbia; fire weather conditions will worsen this weekend.

Copernicus lanza una nueva herramienta para rastrear las emisiones por los incendios forestales - EFE

El Servicio de Monitoreo de la Atmósfera de Copernicus (CAMS) ha lanzado una nueva herramienta que permite acceder en tiempo casi real a los datos de las emisiones que producen los incendios forestales a nivel global, bajo el nombre de 'Fire Emissions Watch' (Vigilancia de Emisiones por Incendios).

How are wildfires affecting air quality in western Europe? New data from #CopernicusAtmosphere show extreme fires in France & Spain exposing millions to extremely poor air quality & pushing 2026 fire emissions towards highest levels of the past 24 years. 🔗 atmosphere.copernicus.eu/extreme-wild...
