In view of the predictions of the State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) that Navarre will have a "very high" and "extreme" forest fire risk between Thursday and Saturday, the Navarre Government has asked citizens to be cautious and has recalled that the prohibitions on the use of fire in rural and forest areas remain in force at least until 30 September.
On Thursday the risk will be "very high" and will reach "extreme" levels on Friday and Saturday. Among the factors causing this situation are high temperatures — highs of up to 36 degrees on Thursday — and strong southern wind, which will leave streams of up to 60 kilometres per hour on Friday night and Saturday morning.
The Department of the Interior has activated the Alert and Monitoring Phase of the INFONA Plan, in coordination with the Fire Department, the Security Forces and the Department of the Environment, as well as increased surveillance using air assets and warning of risk on traffic panels.
At the end of Saturday, significant rainfall is expected, which will result in a drop in temperatures and a significant reduction in risk.
