Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Editorial
Winter-like temperatures returned earlier this month, but we all know they won’t be staying. The longer days bring heat, and nowhere in Alaska is that heat more intense than in the Interior.
Where there’s heat, there’s fire.
Most wildfires in Alaska are started by lightning. Already during a few warm days in April, the atmospheric convection created large clouds over the hills north of Fairbanks. In a few weeks, even warmer days will drive such clouds into cumulonimbus formations capable of making lightning.
