Wildfire season is starting weeks earlier in California – a new study shows how climate change is driving the expansion

"Fire season is expanding in California, with an earlier start to wildfire
activity in most of the state. In parts of the northern mountains, the season
is now starting more than 10 weeks earlier than it did in the 1990s, a new
study shows.

Atmospheric scientists Gavin Madakumbura and Alex Hall, two authors of the
study, explain how climate warming has been driving this trend and why the
trend is likely to continue."
