I read that years of drought, shorter winters, longer spring, summer, and falls are perfect for this type of fire. If you look past the 100 years or so of records we have of weather and study the old forest there is a correlation between drought and these fire conditions. Further, the drought we are in ain’t nothing compared to the droughts that the rings on the trees of the old forest tell us about. Our reservoirs aren’t full, and some rain and a temporary reprieve notwithstanding, I think it’s possible that we ain’t seen nothing wet when it comes to wildfires.
