The low humidity of the air is key to the initial fire taking hold. The air is initially dry due to the desert locations where it originated from, but it dries out even further as it rolls down off the mountains.
Like a hair dryer, it then strips the vegetation of a lot of its moisture, meaning that fire can catch quicker and the vegetation burn more readily.
Thermodynamics!
The last time it rained at least half an inch in Los Angeles, Oceanside, San Diego and Santa Barbara was March 30, 2024. In Oxnard, the last time it rained half an inch was April 14, 2024. And in Palm Springs, the last day with at least 0.5" of rain was Jan. 22, 2024 — almost a year ago.
What the freak have the nincompoop democratic leadership of that State been thinking other than how to bloat their political well-being?
Drill it! Deport it! Ditch it! Drain it!
