2011 Mexican fire season
The 2011 Mexican fire season is the fire season which occurred between January and May 2011. Usually during May, the first wet-season rains begin to fall, followed by a soggy five months. As of May 20, 2011, the fire season had not slowed down and the flames continued to burn forests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=NASA )〕 Fires burned throughout the country, casting a smoky haze from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.〔 2011 turned out to be an extreme fire season in Mexico. By May 19, more than 530,000 hectares (1,300,000 acres or 2,000 square miles) of land had burned in the country since the beginning of the year, according to the Mexican government.〔 In terms of area burned, 2011 surpassed every year since (and including) 1998, making it one of the most challenging fire seasons for 30 years.〔
== Cause of Severity ==
The severity of the 2011 fire season in Mexico was partly due to the 2010 rainy season, one of the wettest on record.〔 Rains from Hurricane Alex flooded northern Mexico in July 2010, and then torrential rains caused widespread flooding in southern Mexico in September 2010.〔 All of this excess water allowed thick grass to grow. During the dry season, which begins in October and lasts through May, the grass dried, providing ample fuel for fires. In April and May 2011, hot, dry, and windy conditions allowed fires throughout the country to surge out of control.
