Here is fire hazard map from weather service, looks like the fire hazard is pretty high, especially yesterday when most of territory had within IV zone. That is a bit surprising as the weather has not been good.

I know, just sounds like an oxymoron. Like a fire in a rainforest.

Which sounds odd no matter it being the ''driest warmest part of the UK'' just sounds weird. It must be to do with human activity.

We've only had around 5mm so far this month and in some months we have had practically zero.. so I don't see why it's surprising. I remember a wildfire breaking out not far from where I live, a large area of bushes was incinerated. Those bushes are to this day dead and black. It spread like, well, wildfire. It was after the dry and warm March 2012.

You started that fire didn't you?

No seriously look how green that grass is and then you have that ball of fire. I understand why it happens but makes no sense that a Oceanic climate sees wildfires quite regularly.
