The recent rains and cooler temperatures have significantly dampened fire risk around the Bay Area, according to a top climate expert.
"I think the amount of rain that we're getting right now with the storm track that is currently over California is putting an end to our fire season," said Prof. Craig Clements, the Director of the Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center at San Jose State University."We are now in a winter pattern, and so we shouldn't expect any fires in the next month – potentially two months.""Hopefully we'll get some more of it.
Walking around his rain-soaked property this week, Pent feels like the recent rains should keep them in the clear for a while. Clements says the weather pattern the Bay Area is experiencing is a good sign right now, as it's helping increase the fuel moisture content.
