A forest rages in Saint-Jean-d'Illac, some 30km from Bordeaux, on July 26, 2026 as a wildfire has been ravaging the forest north of the Arcachon Basin (Gironde). The 220,000 people evacuated due to the massive wildfire in France's Gironde region will not be able to return home "until the fire has been brought under control", the local prefect said, also ruling out any normal workday on Monday in the affected towns, ahead of a possible worsening of the situation on Tuesday due to an expected rise in temperatures.

Požari u Francuskoj

Vatrena stihija prijeti Bordeauxu, evakuirane stotine tisuća ljudi, požari sve bliže gradu

Vatrogasci su se borili cijelu noć i u ponedjeljak ujutro s ogromnim šumskim požarima koji  prijete francuskom gradu Bordeauxu.

U Francuskoj je evakuirano oko 220.000 ljudi, dok je u susjednoj Španjolskoj evakuirano više od 75.000 ljudi, a dodatnih 30.000 dobilo je naredbu da se sklone, priopćile su vlasti tijekom vikenda, dok se Europa suočava s intenzivnim toplinskim valom.

"Ovo su požari kakve nikada prije nismo vidjeli", rekao je u ponedjeljak Jerome Steffe, gradonačelnik Cestasa. Cestas je jedno od predgrađa koje se nalazi odmah izvan glavnog gradskog područja Bordeauxa, odakle su tisuće ljudi morale biti evakuirane iz domova i vikendica.

Požari, koji su izbili prošli tjedan u blizini atlantske obale, sada su 15 kilometara udaljeni od ulaznih točaka u glavno gradsko područje Bordeauxa.

Velik je rizik da će temperature u Bordeauxu porasti na 37 stupnjeva Celzija kasnije ovog tjedna, prema prognozama francuskog meteorološkog ureda.

"To je utrka s vremenom prije nego što se toplinski val vrati", dodao je Steffe.

Vlada predsjednika Emmanuela Macrona raspravljat će o situaciji s požarima na sastanku kabineta u ponedjeljak.

Do sada su u srpnju najviše temperature u regiji Aquitaine u prosjeku iznosile 32,2 stupnja Celzija, što je 7,3 stupnjeva više od normalne mjesečne maksimalne temperature između 1961. i 1990., prema Reuters Climate Monitoru.

CORRECTION/TOPSHOT - A beachgoer walks in the lake Lacanau, also called Etang de Lacanau (Lacanau Pond) from the beach of Moutchic in Lacanau, southwestern France on July 24, 2026, as clouds of smoke rise into the sky from a wildfire. The fire raging in the northern part of the Arcachon Basin in Gironde, southwest France, has swept through more than 3,400 hectares, according to the latest figures released by the prefecture. More than 20,000 residents and tourists have been evacuated from this part already devastated by flames in 2022. Scientists have long warned that climate change caused by human use of fossil fuels will make periods of drought more intense and longer-lasting, creating the ideal conditions for wildfires.
