There is an ongoing series of wildfires burning throughout the U.S. state of Utah.
Background
While the typical wildfire season in Utah varies, most fires occur in between July and October.[1] Fire conditions can heavily depend on monsoons that last from late June to September. Dry monsoons can allow fires to start and spread easier, while wet ones can cause fire relief. Additionally, hot temperatures and overall dry conditions play a large role.[2]
