Southern California Faces Unusual Dryness; Record Low Rainfall Heightens Wildfire Risks

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Southern California is experiencing significant dryness with less than a quarter-inch of rain recorded over the past eight months.
  • The current vegetation conditions resemble typical October dryness, raising concerns about wildfire susceptibility.
  • A typical winter rain soak would significantly reduce the wildfire risk, yet the region remains dangerously dry.
  • Downtown Los Angeles recorded only 0.29 inches of rain since May 1, marking one of the driest periods in nearly 150 years.
  • The dry conditions follow a summer filled with record-breaking heat that has severely impacted the landscape.
