›What is happening with Global Wildfire Season?
Longer, hotter fire seasons overlap hemispheres, straining suppression and burning record acreage. Compounding drought, heat, and fuel buildup are pushing wildfire seasons past historical bounds across the Mediterranean, North America, Amazonia, Siberia, and Australia. Megafires increasingly force mass evacuations, sever power and transport, and blanket cities in hazardous smoke far downwind. Suppression capacity, aerial fleets, and mutual-aid crews are stretched thin as northern and southern seasons converge.
›How serious is the situation right now?
The VUCA index reads 57/100 (0 = calm, 100 = critical) and is steady over the last 14 days. The score is computed daily from measured inputs and explains itself on this page.
