Question

write in 3 to 4 sentences as a 5th grader

Answer 1

Meteorologists use weather data like wind speed, temperature, and humidity to predict how likely a big wildfire could happen. They look at how dry the air is and if there is a lot of lightning, which can start fires. If it's really hot and windy, there's a higher chance of a wildfire starting and spreading quickly. By looking at all this information, meteorologists can warn people to be careful and take steps to prevent wildfires.
