While "fire season" varies every year in Louisiana, most wildfires occur between August and October, and February and April. However, there is an increasing fire danger in the fall and spring months. Fire conditions can be exacerbated by drought, a subtropical climate, strong winds, and vegetation growth. Climate change is leading to increased temperatures, extremely low humidity levels, and drought conditions that are happening more often. Agricultural burns and accidental sources account for the majority of wildfire starts in Louisiana.[1][2]
