英国2026年7月经历有记录以来最严重的野火季节，单月共发生624起火灾1。这一数字也意味着整个2026年的野火总数已达1354起，成为有记录以来第二严重的年份1。
极端高温是导致野火频发的主要原因。英国在2026年夏季创造了气温记录，共有40天气温超过30摄氏度，超越了此前的历史最高纪录34天1。野火季节的严峻形势还首次导致人员丧生——一名70岁男性在Chipping Campden火灾中不幸身亡1。此外，位于Sizewell B核电站附近的大火摧毁了保护区的大片区域1。
为应对危机，首相Andy Burnham已召集紧急Cobra会议，并发布了一次性烧烤炉临时禁售令1。政府已投入近1亿英镑升级国家复原力资产1。数据显示，在2010年至2017年期间，英国年度野火数量不超过750起，但近9年中已有4年超过950起，反映出野火频率的明显上升趋势1。
England experienced its most severe wildfire season in recorded history during July 2026, with 624 fires recorded in the single month alone 1. The nation has already reached 1,354 wildfires for the year, making 2026 the second-worst year on record, surpassed only by 2022's 1,592 incidents 1.
The unprecedented fire activity occurred against a backdrop of extreme heat conditions. The summer of 2026 saw record-breaking temperatures, with more than 40 days exceeding 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), surpassing the previous historical high of 34 such days 1. The crisis took a tragic human toll when a 70-year-old man died during a wildfire in Chipping Campden, marking the first recorded wildfire fatality in the country 1. Among the major incidents was a large fire near Sizewell B nuclear power station that destroyed significant portions of a protected conservation area 1.
In response to the escalating crisis, Prime Minister Andy Burnham convened an emergency Cobra meeting and announced a temporary ban on disposable barbecues 1. The government has already invested nearly £100 million in upgrading national resilience assets to address such disasters 1.
