a. Meteorologists look at different weather information to forecast the chances of big wildfires. They consider factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, recent rainfall, and how wet or dry the soil is. They also study long-term weather trends and drought signs to see how likely it is for wildfires to happen.
b. The best weather conditions for starting a wildfire include high temperatures, low humidity, strong winds, and dry plants. These elements make it easier for fires to ignite and spread quickly, especially in places that haven’t had much rain recently.
