Not really. Northern CA is now entering into the fire season and the threat will remain until the rain begins toward the end of the year. When and how much rain will decide when that threat is ended. The recent weather with the lightning is not typical and has been an unwelcome cause of the current fires. Weather does play a hand, as always, but it is usually from heat and high winds instead of heat and lightning strikes.

You have to also understand that CA is a huge state with many different climates and complex weather. For myself and Aktungbby, it's the area along the north side of the San Francisco bay area for about a hundred miles and stretching from the Pacific Ocean inland for another hundred miles. Essentially the heart of the traditional California wine country although that has greatly expanded since the state is abundant in agriculture and cash crops are always in a state of flux. When I was a kid in Napa during the 1960's, prune orchards were an abundant cash crop. Those are now all gone and have been replaced with wine grapes, or housing.
