🌏 Unlike the EMEA and the AMER, fewer countries in the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region experience regular wildfires. The worst-affected countries include Australia, Indonesia and India. Australia is frequently hit with bushfires, which are wildfires that burn in grasslands, scrublands or forests, with around 45,000-65,000 annually. Indonesia experiences frequent forest fires, which are often massive in size. Around 1.6 million hectares of forests and grasslands were lost to wildfires in 2019. In the Indian subcontinent, forest fires are expected to increase significantly in the coming years due to rising temperatures. The frequency of forest fires in India has increased by 52 percent in the last two decades. The wildfire season in India generally occurs between November and June.

As most models predict the decrease of El Niño effects by April-June 2024, wildfires in the Americas have become a worrying phenomenon in recent years. 🌎 In North America, the wildfire season usually runs from spring to fall. In the United States, the timing of the wildfire season varies due to the country's diversity of environments. 🌎 In Canada, this year's wildfire season has already begun with several large wildfires having been recorded in British Columbia and Alberta in April. 🌎 In Latin America, the dry season, normally lasting from December to April, can lead to an increase in forest fires due to the lack of rainfall.
