California’s rainy season has already shrunk, increasing wildfire risks
California’s rainy season is starting later in the year than it used to, extending the threat of fast-spreading wildfires into the cooler months when, in earlier decades, the fire season would have been over, according to a new study. The findings are contained in a recently released study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. It finds that the state’s wet season is beginning nearly a month later than it did in the 1960s and that the autumn season has become progressively drier.
