France’s Wildfires Spawn Their Own Storms | Tech News

France is facing an unprecedented wildfire crisis as fire clouds—self-generated weather systems born from superheated smoke—ignite new flames and fuel existing ones. These pyrocumulonimbus clouds, never seen before in France, signal a terrifying escalation: over 220,000 acres burned this year alone, six times the annual average, with last week shattering the 20-year record. Driven by extreme heat, dry conditions, and climate change, global wildfire intensity has doubled since 2000.
