Approximately 90% of wildfires are initiated by humans, with current conditions facilitating ignition due to drought and high fine fuel moisture levels. The prolonged dry spell and extreme temperatures have allowed heavier fuels to dry, enabling fires to spread rapidly and unpredictably. Additionally, erratic weather patterns, including downdrafts from thunderstorms, have complicated firefighting efforts. With forecasts indicating continued high pressure and potential for further heatwaves, the risk of additional wildfires remains elevated into August.
