Non-fiery year so far
We're finally getting a few 90-degree days, which is strictly normal. Overall this summer is cooler than NORMAL and wetter than NORMAL, and the result shows dramatically in wildfires. The fire responders got extra budget and extra training this year, assuming "Global Warming" would continue to make every year hotter and hotter. Nature don't do dat. Nature do cycles.
Last summer I picked up a screencap from an interactive map of all current wildfires.
Screencap from last year:
Slightly larger screencap right now:
The only major fire on the map this year is near Los Angeles. Nothing at all in the Northwest.
Might be more later in August, after more heat and drying, but at the moment a giant fire season is unlikely. We're still getting some rain in weeks that are normally bone-dry. A similarly placed screencap of radar right now:
