A climate scientist claims that recent increases in wildfire season length in a region are linked to earlier spring snowmelt. The scientist cites: (1) satellite-derived snow cover data showing average snow-off dates shifted 12 days earlier from 1990 to 2020; (2) fire agency records showing the average date of the first large wildfire shifted 9 days earlier over the same interval; and (3) a model simulation in which earlier soil drying increased the number of days with high fire danger indices.
