Is it ok to point out that the South East is WAY WETTER than the dry West?
Controlled burns are MUCH easier to plan, implement, and control with higher humidity.
The SE gets an AVERAGE 51 inches of rain per year.
{ Average precipitation (1,297 mm for years 2000 to 2021) for the southeast region of the USA (AL, FL, GA, SC, NC, VA) is about 45 mm greater now than 100 years ago. Since 1895, there has been 8 years with rainfall greater than 1,500 mm and 6 of those occurred after 1960. }
The SE is famous for hot n humid, sultry, women n mint juleps. Alligators n water moccasins.
The West is famous for dry. Arid. Tuberculotic gunfighters. Gold and grizzlies.
Just saying.
It might be easy to compare an alligator to perlite, but that doesn’t mean the conclusions are useful.
Sure. The SE does have a “dry” season.
But this topic is controlled burns. Controlled burns are NOT carried out during the dry season.
