The Forest Disaster Prediction and Analysis Center of the National Institute of Forest Science has urged special attention to fire management as the wildfire risk index remains at "somewhat high" in most regions across the country and is expected to increase in areas with a "high" risk level. The reason for the heightened risk of wildfires in autumn is due to the absence of rain and the maintenance of low humidity levels. Analysis of the number of days without rain in November over the past 10 years showed that the average number of wildfires per day was 1.5 when there was no rain for three days, 1.6 for four days, and 2.3 for five days, indicating a clear correlation between the number of days without rain and the number of wildfires.
