In 2023, Turkey's most intense and vast wildfires happened during the month July, when the area burned increased to nearly 13,500 hectares. Nevertheless, this figure stood far from the wildfire-affected area registered in 2021, when the extent of land burned in the country surpassed the 2008-2022 average by about 94,000 hectares.
