High temperatures increase the rate of evaporation, causing soil moisture levels to decrease. This dries out the vegetation, turning it into potential fuel for fires.
June/July/August are on average the driest months in southern Italy. If the soil is already dry because it hasn’t rained in two months there shouldn’t be anything left to evaporate. My point is, it should be communicated clearer that it’s burning not because it’s hot (people really think fires can randomly start by themselves), but because of arson, negligence or intention.
