I plan on traveling to Spain and southern France by End of September/ Beginning of October and was just wondering how you guys are doing over there.

Edit: Of course I am concerned about the French aswell, forgot to ask about you too, since im primarily going to be in spain.

In Barcelona some days there's a weird haze in the air. A colleague from the suburbs recently had a small panic thinking he needs to evacuate, but the firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.

For people living in the suburbs of Madrid it's a real danger. That one is out of control and no end in sight.

There a lot more, all over Spain. Most of the county is uninhabited so it doesn't impact too many people. But if you're driving somewhere, be careful.

Edit: Here's a live map

WTF?

No idea, some kind of bug, or too much traffic. Works fine for me.

Actually, does your browser have a referer stripping option or plugin? Some kind of overzealous tracking prevention?

Probably, I have no idea. Maybe uBlock origin. The thing is that it blocks tiles at random, I took that screenshot because it was easier to read.

Thanks for the reply, planning on going to Barcelona, I figured the risk shouldnt be to high there, since it's coastal

You shouldn't be worried anyway. By the end of September it's highly likely all the fires will be gone.
