They supercharge fire risk by drying vegetation, extending burn times through nights, and even sparking dangerous dry lightning. Since 2001, heat wave days have nearly doubled and burned area has jumped 2.5x—37% less if heat waves hadn’t occurred. With hotter, drier summers on the way and fire forecasts still ignoring heat waves as a key driver, the perfect storm for catastrophic wildfires is only intensifying.
