I’m in British Columbia and for months the experts have been saying how bad the drought is here, it’s going to be a rough summer, bad crops, etc. We have had a fair amount of rain the last couple of weeks but I’ve still had to water on the few sunny days. Now tonight they show the wild fire risk is low in most areas or moderate. Precious years it has taken a lot more rainy days to see the risk drop. What am I missing?

From what I understand, rainfall is only one factor in determining fire risk. I believe low humidity, high temperatures, and high wind speeds are also factors that go into assigning risk.
