Northern California typically sees wildfire activity between late spring and early fall, peaking in the summer with hotter and drier conditions. Occasional cold frontal passages can bring wind and lightning. The timing of fire season in Southern California is similar, peaking between late spring and fall. The severity and duration of peak activity in either part of the state is modulated in part by weather events: downslope/offshore wind events can lead to critical fire weather, while onshore flow and Pacific weather systems can bring conditions that hamper wildfire growth.April 25, 2024 Weather: Fire Season Climatology (Northern California) https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California live https://web.archive.org/web/20210513095421/https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California May 13, 2021 June 25, 2024 National Wildfire Coordinating GroupToohey Grace June 22, 2024 California wildfires have already burned 90,000 acres, and summer is just beginning https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-06-22/spring-wildfire-sees-a-boom-concerning-for-rest-of-year live https://web.archive.org/web/20240625010426/https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-06-22/spring-wildfire-sees-a-boom-concerning-for-rest-of-year June 25, 2024 June 25, 2024 Los Angeles Times List of wildfires Below is a list of fires that exceeded 1000 acre km2 or caused a notable amount of damage +NameCountyAcresStart dateNotesReferences Pendola FireYuba County11,725 acresOctober 16 199972 structures destroyed Nelson Brett December 4, 1999 Family struggles after fire https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-union-fire-struggles-after-fire-p/160846764/ December 13, 2024 The Union A1, A10 Newspapers.comJones FireYuba County26,200 acresOctober 16 1999954 structures destroyed, 1 deathOctober 24, 2022 Top 20 Most Destructive California Wildfires https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/t1rdhizr/top20_destruction.pdf live https://web.archive.org/web/20220928163251/https://www.fire.ca.gov/media/t1rdhizr/top20_destruction.pdf September 28, 2022 January 3, 2023 California Department of Forestry and Fire ProtectionBig Bar ComplexShasta County 117,278 acresAugust 1999https://www.nifc.gov/sites/default/files/NICC/1-Incident%20Information/IMSR/1999/October/19991017IMSR.pdf PDF INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT : SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1999 - 0900 MDT : NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II Nifc.gov June 25, 2026Sixteen FireYolo County3,200 acresOctober 1999Geyser FireSonoma County1,000 acresOctober 1999Kirk ComplexVentura County85,508 acresOctober 1999Ranch FireVentura County4,371 acres December 21 19991 structure destroyedhttps://ucanr.edu/sites/default/files/2011-03/79451.pdf PDF CHRONOLOGY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES Ucanr.edu June 25, 2026 Reference's Category:1990s wildfires in the United States Category:1999 in California
