[verbose: snip]
Key Points- The impacts of COVID-19 emissions reductions on weather conditions for wildfire over the western United States in 2020 were investigated
- The COVID-19 emissions reductions increased surface air temperature and decreased precipitation and relative humidity
- Reductions in aerosols explain one-third of the observed wildfire risk increase, whereas greenhouse gas decrease counteracts this influence
