Wildfire season
Significado: The annual period of elevated wildfire risk, typically summer and fall in the American West.
Wildfire season has become a defining feature of life in the western US. Smoke-filled skies, orange sunsets, evacuation orders, and air quality alerts are now annual occurrences. 'Wildfire season' has grown longer and more destructive each year due to climate change and drought. It affects outdoor recreation (trail closures, fire bans), air quality (N95 masks for smoke), and mental health. Checking the fire map before an outdoor trip is now standard practice.
