Wildfires in Hungary

39 fires over 100 hectares with an official perimeter since 2017, adding up to 10,162 hectares burned across 70 municipalities.

Only fires of 100 ha or more get an entry: smaller ones are not in the lists or the entry totals, but they are in the official yearly series.

These figures leave out one provisional page, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.
