Drizzle, fog and cooler temperatures take the edge off what is normally the state’s scariest month for fires.
Longtime residents know that autumn is usually the most dangerous time for wildfires in California.
A key reason so far, experts say, is largely because of a decent burst of rain in mid-September that wet much of the north and south, followed by cooler, foggy conditions in recent weeks across the Bay Area. A Rex Block pattern is when both exist fairly near each other. For much of this month, a strong high-pressure zone has been sitting around the Pacific Northwest, north of a low-pressure zone parked around the Channel Islands. Such conditions can cause hotter temperatures near the high and cooler temperatures near the low.
