Description:

The 2015 Alaska fire season burned 5.1

million acres, the second largest burned area since

1940, exceeded only by the 2004 Alaska fire season

when 6.2 million acres burned (Fig. 4.1a). Despite

a below normal end-of-winter snowpack and an

unseasonably warm spring with earlier snowmelt,

which dried fuels early in the season, scattered

showers and cool temperatures kept 2015 fire activity

near normal through early June. During the first

half of June, several days of maximum temperatures

exceeded 30˚C, relative humidity (RH) values were

in the teens, and long daylight hours quickly dried

surface and subsurface (duff) forest-floor fuels.
