THE UK may be on track to see its worst year for wildfires, data shows.
As of last week there have been 115 blazes and an area of more than 95 square miles (24,890 hectares) has been scorched since January 1, according to European Forest Fire Information System figures.
It means 2025 is already the second worst year on record by area burned and number of fires.
Only 2019 was worse for area burned (28,754 hectares) and 2022 for the number of fires (151).
