The 2016 California wildfires were a series of wildfires that burned across the state of California during 2016. As of 25 June 2016, 2,017 fires had burned 16,821 acres (68.07 km2), according to CAL FIRE.[1]

Climatologists had predicted an extreme version of El Niño known as Super El Niño to occur during the winter of 2015-16. The Pacific Ocean’s warming water, which had been expected to bring strong storms to southern parts of the west coast, never materialized, however.[2] Early in the year, The National Interagency Fire Center predicted that conditions from May through at least August would put much of the western United States in above-normal wildfire danger.[3]
