"Fueled by abnormally dry, warm conditions and spread by strong winds, wildfires have burned more than 600,000 acres across New Mexico this spring — making it one of the worst fire years in the state’s recorded history. And there’s at least another month of peak fire risk ahead.
The explosive, early start to this year’s Southwestern fire season reflects the convergence of long-term trends — a forest landscape
overgrown after decades of aggressive fire suppression and parched by drought; springtime temperatures warmed by human-caused climate change — and more immediate dangers, like the relentless winds that have fanned the flames.
It’s an ominous sign for the rest of the American West, where the fire season tends to start later, but where conditions are similarly primed to burn."
In 2021, nearly 6,000 structures were burned in wildfires, the majority of which occurred in California.
