Just want to point out that wildfires are not at all like the other weather noted here. Human intervention (aka fire suppression) and human initiation (ignitions) both contribute to whether wildfires exist and area impacted. Not at all like hurricanes, tornadoes and hail. IMHO.
I am no expert but I am puzzled about temperatures because it would be interesting to compare various sources, e.g. satellite measurements, and also the urbanization impact. As far as I know the NOAA measurement stations might have been impacted and therefore might overestimate temperature. Just asking....
Interesting data, thank you. I am curious about a new (to me) term in weather phenomena - atmospheric rivers. Where in the "information reporting" spectrum are these events accounted for. Is an atmospheric river similar to a hurricane but without the wide barometric pressure differential?

Thank you for your above helpful summary. Would also like to see correlation to CO2 levels as your time and priorities permit.

Cool, thanks.
