The number of wildfires reported in S\u00e3o Paulo this month has increased by 915% compared to the same period last year. The only state with a worse outcome was Mato Grosso do Sul, where fire incidents rose by 1,825%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, S\u00e3o Paulo is now the fifth state with the most wildfire outbreaks in the country (3,483) during the period from August 1 to 26\u2014up from 13th place during the same period last year. Currently, the state is only behind Mato Grosso, Par\u00e1, Amazonas, and Mato Grosso do Sul, according to data from INPE (National Institute for Space Research).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series of fires that struck the S\u00e3o Paulo countryside last week emerged almost simultaneously and in predominantly agricultural areas, according to a survey by IPAM (Amazon Environmental Research Institute) based on satellite-mapped heat sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 2,600 heat sources reported in S\u00e3o Paulo between August 22 and 24, 81% occurred in areas used for agriculture, such as those occupied by sugarcane and pasture, according to a cross-analysis of satellite images from the environmental monitoring network with land cover and usage data from the MapBiomas network. Approximately 72% of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s territory is occupied by agricultural activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satellite images show the emergence of smoke columns within a 90-minute interval, between 10:30 am and 12:00 pm on August 23. The study strengthens comparisons between the incident in the S\u00e3o Paulo countryside and the so-called \u201cDay of Fire,\u201d mentioned by Environment Minister Marina Silva. She said that President Lula\u2019s government is investigating whether the wildfires in the state have similar motivations to the criminally induced forest fires in August 2019 in the municipalities of Altamira and Novo Progresso, both in Par\u00e1 state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two days without fires, S\u00e3o Paulo state recorded three new fire outbreaks on Tuesday (27th) in Batatais (350 km from the capital), in the metropolitan region of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, prompting a task force to combat the flames. Batatais is one of the cities on the state Civil Defense\u2019s list of 48 municipalities on high alert for fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outlook for the coming days remains concerning. The S\u00e3o Paulo Civil Defense has classified the metropolitan region of S\u00e3o Paulo as at emergency risk for fires this upcoming weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to meteorologists from the state agency, the classification is due to the hot and dry weather expected to return to the state starting this Friday (30th). With no rain in the forecast, the relative humidity in S\u00e3o Paulo city could drop to 20% over the weekend, according to INMET (National Institute of Meteorology), and temperatures are expected to reach 30\u00b0C in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four stages of warnings for fire risks: low (yellow), high (orange), alert (red), and emergency (purple).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wildfires affecting different parts of Brazil may be linked to a historic lack of rain\u2014the most severe in the last four decades\u2014impacting 16 states and the Federal District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data comes from CEMADEN (National Center for Monitoring and Alerts of Natural Disasters), which considered information from May to August for all states since 1981, the year official records began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary figures from the center for this August show that approximately seven out of ten Brazilian municipalities are affected by some level of drought: mild, moderate, extreme, or severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Supreme Court Justice Fl\u00e1vio Dino ordered the federal government to mobilize, within 15 days, the Armed Forces, Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, National Force, Military Firefighters, and environmental enforcement agents to combat the wildfires in the Pantanal and Amazon\u2014biomes that have been suffering from fires in recent days, with smoke spreading across the country. To fund the emergency actions, the federal government may open an extraordinary credit line through a provisional presidential decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
