The ongoing Texas Wildfire seems like its not going to end anytime soon. Here's why-
Firstly, low humidity levels & dry weather conditions lead to increased evaporation of moisture from trees in forests and grasslands, making them more susceptible to ignition.
Dry air can quickly desiccate trees, turning it into highly flammable fuel for fires. Furthermore, dry weather often accompanies high temperatures, creating ideal conditions for fire spread.
In such environments, even small sparks or human activities like campfires or discarded cigarettes can easily ignite and escalate into large wildfires.
Dry weather can also lead to drought conditions, further exacerbating wildfire risk by drying out soil and reducing moisture levels in plants, amplifying the potential for fire ignition and spread.
Overall, the combination of low humidity, high temperatures, and dry vegetation creates a perfect storm for wildfire intensification during periods of dry weather.
Hence, it is not clear as to when these wildfires will end.
This fire has already taken 2 lives. 83 year old Joyce Blankenship and Cindy Owens died due to this fire.
