Wildfires Will Be Followed by Intense Rain in the Western US Due to Climate Change

This century, the western United States is enduring a significantly increased risk of heavy rains flooding areas that were lately damaged by wildfires, a new study cautions. These events can cause major destruction, including mudslides, debris flows, and flash floods because the denuded site cannot easily hold the saturated moisture.
