The Canadian wildfires in 2025 are currently the second-worst on record, with the season having started early in mid-May and expected to last well into late summer and possibly into early fall. The wildfire season has been fueled by climate change effects, including higher temperatures and drier conditions, and is predicted to persist through the summer due to ongoing drought and above-average temperatures. Some states of emergency have been declared lasting at least until late August, with no clear end yet as the fire risk remains high across multiple provinces. Overall, the 2025 wildfire season could extend into the fall months, making it one of the longest and most severe seasons on record in Canada.
