Climate change has caused the five hottest years on record to come in the last two years.
The risk of devastating and sometimes deadly fires increased because of that.
The temperature in Europe in August was the highest on record, according to the C3S.
August was the hottest on the planet since records began in 1979 and beat the previous record set in August 2021, according to data.
August was 1.72C higher than average and temperatures from June to August were 1.34C hotter.
The Paris Agreement on climate change seeks to limit global heating by setting a temperature range.
The 2015 accord commits nations to cap average global temperatures at "well below" 2C above pre-industrial levels.
A spokeswoman for the service told Agence France-Presse that the service was certain that the hottest summer in Europe in the early part of the 20th century would be in 2022.
Europe has been battered by a string of heatwaves this year, with temperature records tumbling in many countries and the mercury topping 40C in Britain.
According to theCAMS, this year has already been a record year for fires, with 660,000 hectares burned in Europe.
The highest levels of carbon pollution from wildfires have been seen in France.
The EU said last month that the current dry spell was the worst on record.
According to the latest bulletin from the European Commission's Global Drought Observatory, 47 percent of the planet is currently covered by some kind of warning of a dry spell.
Concerns about the autumn harvest have been made worse by the fact that 17 percent of the world's population is under a dry spell.
An intense series of heatwaves across Europe, coupled with a dry spell, have led to a summer of extremes with records in terms of temperature, drought, and fire activity in many parts of Europe.
The previous summer record for Europe was only one year old.
August was the hottest August on record. The average temperature for the month was higher than the previous one.
