Increase in wildfire damages in 2025
November 22, 2025
This year there has been a slight increase in wildfires compared to last year, with damages estimated to exceed €100 million. The severity of the situation is highlighted by the destruction caused by fires in mountainous Limassol, which alone has incurred damages of €61 million. Incidents of fire are up, particularly in April, which saw a remarkable spike. Climate change seems to be influencing the situation, with a significant rise in fires starting as early as January. This year is expected to rank among the worst, if not the worst, for fires in the area.
