Dear Ryan, X-Air, and WeatherCat climate watchers,
Thanks for your contributions!
As usual, I'll give my "plug" for Grand's WeatherCatRCP:
Thus far, the transition to autumn has been rather mild. However, October is typically the peak of off-shore wind events and therefore the greatest risk of wildfires. October is also one of the hottest months in northern California. Even if the days are much shorter, it takes a while for the ground to cool and obviously winds blowing over land are much hotter than winds coming off the cold water current off our Pacific coast.
