The humid weather and rainfall have provided some relief to Spanish authorities in their fight against the fires that have been ravaging much of the country for weeks, at a time when more than 391,000 hectares have already been burned so far this year, according to data from the European Forest Fire Information System.
Although 40 fires are still active across the country, recent rain, especially in the province of León, could help firefighters control the situation there, allowing authorities to focus their efforts on other areas.
