In July 2026, Western Europe faced a historic wildfire crisis that devastated large parts of France and Spain.
2026年7月，西歐面臨了一場歷史性的野火危機，重創了法國與西班牙的大片土地。
Experts from the World Weather Attribution group point to a phenomenon called 'weather whiplash' as a primary cause.
來自世界氣象歸因組織（WWA，World Weather Attribution）的專家指出，一種稱為「天氣鞭效應」的現象是主要成因。
This occurs when an unusually wet winter leads to thick vegetation, which then dries out during a subsequent heatwave and drought, creating highly flammable conditions.
這發生在異常潮濕的冬季導致植被茂盛，隨後又在熱浪與乾旱期間變得乾燥，從而創造了極易燃燒的條件。
The impact was severe, with over 250,000 hectares of land scorched and 300,000 people displaced from their homes.
這場災難影響嚴重，超過25萬公頃的土地被燒焦，30萬人被迫離開家園。
These fires were so intense that they created their own weather systems, known as pyrocumulonimbus clouds, which produced lightning and started new blazes.
這些火勢極度猛烈，甚至創造了它們自己的天氣系統，即火積雨雲，這種雲層會產生閃電並引發新的大火。
