From what I remember from high school geography and earth sciences, rain comes from clouds when the clouds get cold. So in Bangladesh it rains a lot because the clouds from the ocean are pushed further and further up against the Himalaya Mountains and it’s colder the further up you go, so it rains a lot.

Well, if that is true, during a forest fire it must get very, very hot above the forest fire, which would make it more difficult for the rain clouds to get cold and release the water, prolonging forest fires even more.

Is this how it works?
