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.Weather: Fire Season Climatology (Northern California) https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California June 25, 2024 National Wildfire Coordinating Group April 25, 2024 May 13, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210513095421/https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/pms437/weather/fire-season-climatology#TOC-Northern-California liveToohey 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 June 25, 2024 Los Angeles Times June 25, 2024 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 live List of wildfires Below is a list of all fires that exceeded 1000 acre km2 during the 2010 fire season.Large Fires 2010 http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/pub/cdf/images/incidentstatsevents_185.pdf CAL FIRE 14 August 2015 4 March 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304200453/http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/pub/cdf/images/incidentstatsevents_185.pdf dead The list is taken from CAL FIRE's list of large fires. Name County Acres Km2 Start date Contained DateContainment means that fire crews have established and secured control lines around the fire's perimeter. These lines are artificial barriers, like trenches or cleared vegetation, designed to stop the fire's spread, or natural barriers like rivers. Containment reflects progress in managing the fire but does not necessarily mean the fire is starved of fuel, under control, or put out.KCAL-TV Los Angeles What containment and other wildfire related terms mean September 12, 2024 https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/what-does-containment-mean-wildfire-evacuation-warning-order-red-flag/ 2025-07-25 Notes Cotton San Luis Obispo 2044 acres km2 1 tablecen May 15, 2010 May 17, 2010 McKinley Riverside 1000 acres km2 1 tablecen May 20, 2010 May 22, 2010 Robinson Merced 1600 acres km2 1 tablecen June 11, 2010 June 12, 2010 Aliso San Diego 3225 acres km2 1 tablecen July 13, 2010 July 13, 2010 Sand 2 Kern 1254 acres km2 1 tablecen July 16, 2010 July 22, 2010 Indian Kern 1822 acres km2 1 tablecen July 18, 2010 July 24, 2010 Mono Mono 1205 acres km2 1 tablecen July 26, 2010 July 29, 2010 Bull Kern 16442 acres km2 1 tablecen July 26, 2010 August 10, 2010 14 structures destroyed McDonald Lassen 9408 acres km2 1 tablecen July 27, 2010 August 10, 2010 West Kern 1650 acres km2 1 tablecen July 27, 2010 August 6, 2010 50 structures destroyed Crown Los Angeles 13918 acres km2 1 tablecen July 29, 2010 August 3, 2010 10 structures destroyed Bar Plumas 1040 acres km2 1 tablecen July 31, 2010 August 10, 2010 Pozo San Luis Obispo 1200 acres km2 1 tablecen August 21, 2010 August 22, 2010 Post Kern 1312 acres km2 1 tablecen August 25, 2010 August 28, 2010 Bullard Yuba 1307 acres km2 1 tablecen August 27, 2010 August 31, 2010 Bullards Nevada 1500 acres km2 1 tablecen August 27, 2010 September 13, 2010 Canyon Kern 9820 acres km2 1 tablecen September 12, 2010 September 19, 2010 1 structure destroyed Notes References 2 California, 2010 Category:Wildfires in California by year
