Forest weather: 65 departments in orange alert

The article reports that 65 French departments are under orange alert for forest fires due to favorable meteorological conditions and dry vegetation. The 'weather of forests' system, developed by Météo-France, aims to warn the public about fire risks and encourage preventive measures. It emphasizes that this is a predictive tool rather than a map of current fires. The piece notes that nine out of ten wildfires are caused by human negligence such as barbecues, cigarette butts, and construction work. It references recent devastating fires in the Corbières massif and ongoing fires in the Gironde region.
