Fire Weather
The beginning of the Monsoon season in June is very hot and dry. This leads to fire danger being extremely high due to more high-based, dry thunderstorms. These can create new fire starts and produce gusty, erratic winds. Source: National Weather Service - Phoenix
What is Fire Weather?
Occasionally, on a breezy but otherwise pleasant day, a weather alert will pop up on your cell phone or TV. No, it's no mistake; it's most likely a notification for fire weather—weather conditions favorable for the ignition and spread of wildfires.
Fire weather can occur in any season but peaks during late-summer and fall when drier air and dry fuels (fallen leaves and dormant trees) are commonplace. Although fire weather is experienced globally, it poses a greater risk to locations like the western United States, Australia, Africa, and the Amazon, which are prone to wildfires.
