U.S. Drought Monitor and California Wildfires this Year

U.S. Drought Monitor and California Wildfires this Year

The drought monitor speaks volumes about wildfires. California has been fortunate in having no large wildfires this season to date. A significant part of the reason is the weather; it was wet coming into the season, and it hasn't been as hot as in the past. Interesting to us is that this time last year 89% of the state was abnormally dry, currently only 9% of the state is abnormally dry.

Following is the map from Sept 19, 2019. Hoping this trend continues.
