Each summer, southern France braces for fire — but in 2026, the flames arrived with uncommon force, sweeping through the Mediterranean countryside and compelling thousands of residents, including the family of George Clooney, to abandon their homes.

What was once a seasonal hazard has become something closer to an annual reckoning, shaped by drought, heat, and the slow arithmetic of a changing climate.
