The most helpful data for scientists who measure the risks associated with wildfires would be drought conditions in an area. Drought directly influences the availability of moisture in vegetation, making it more susceptible to catching fire and increasing the likelihood and severity of wildfires. While the other factors can also play a role in wildfire risk, drought conditions are a critical indicator of fire susceptibility.
