Volcanic eruptions there...lol
 
Seems like the same story as last year...and the year before...

Thought it was interesting to compare to their Aug/Sep/Oct forecast issued in late March. Similar profile, but with more certainty.

Actually not true if you look at the data. The patterns are quite different. For perspective, we had a minimal wildfire season last year in southern UT.

Maybe mix-up in the msg. I was referring to last year's fire map as similar: CA/West Coast, AK and SW US having a lot of fires. Canada seems spared so far. Can't remember a time CA wasn't on fire.

I posted climate map from this year (March 21, 2024). Temp and precip patterns look similar to the June 20, 2024 map so just saying they got the general trend right 3 months ago.

Interesting to see precip outlook from 2023. Had a bunch of 3-4 day storms roll through the Tetons and Winds while I was there late Aug/mid-Sept.
