This week’s heavy rain brought some urgent need of water and brought some mudslides to Southern California, a little worried.
However, does it help reduce the danger of fire that encourages unprecedented fires this month?
Fire conditions
The forecast said that the rainfall is not enough to prevent the fire in Los Angeles from being dragged into February. Ryan Kittell, a meteorologicalist of the National Meteorological Bureau of Oxnad, said 2 to 4 inches of rainfall is needed to consider the wildfire season comfortably. This storm usually drops half -inch to 1.5 inches in the Los Angeles Basin.
He said: “This is not very happy to say that we will be good in the season, but we will definitely be relieved in the next few weeks.”
In humid weather, wildfires in Southern California will grow.
According to the forestry and fire departments of California, Palisad, Eaton and Hughes’s fire in Los Angeles County were 95 %, 99 % and 98 % of the shares, respectively. The 2nd fire in San Diego County is 74 %.

‘Dodge bullets’
Although the highly anticipated rainfall is full of many tired Angeleneos, the forecask is also worried that the system will cause a thunderstorm or strong storm cell to make up for fresh burn scars in the region and thereby the area where the disaster is harmful. Cause greater damage. Kitt said, but fortunately, the largest rainwater missed those areas.
“This is largely beneficial to rain. … I think we have escaped the bullets,” he said. “It helped fight, and it definitely made us get rid of the fire.”
In some areas, heavy rain, heavy rain dropped in a short period of time, resulting in the blockade of slight floods and dirt and debris, especially in the Santa Monica Mountains. Kitt said, but the worst situation was not resolved.
Kitt said that the prediction shows that the next few days are relatively dry, but this weekend or next week will have some chances of rainfall. If it is realized, this situation may continue to reduce the threat of fire.
He said, “there are several or two or two rain activities.”
