This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

The Flame in Spain
Temperatures of up to 44 degrees Centigrade are currently predicted in Spain. There are now wide-spread wild fires in Northern, Central and Southern Spain. In some places, thousands of people have had to be evacuated from their homes (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/12/thousands-evacuated-in-spain-amid-deadly-wildfires-and-new-heatwave). Summer wild fires are becoming a feature of Southern Europe. Their intensities and frequencies are only likely to increase. There's a possibility that some areas will become unliveable.
