| episode_narrative | June saw the fourth consecutive month of below-normal rainfall in the central California interior, as neither Fresno nor Bakersfield had any rain. While dry Junes are not uncommon (this was Bakersfield���s 72nd dry June, and Fresno���s 50th), the prospect of a dry June coming on the heels of the driest March-May on record for Bakersfield, and the 4th driest for Fresno, was a factor in Governor Schwarzenegger declaring a drought for the state on June 4th. In addition to the agricultural and hydrological impacts of the dry weather, the fire danger due to dried brush and other vegetation was high, and thunderstorms that moved through the state during the latter half of the month triggered numerous wildfires.||Bakersfield ended the 2007-2008 rain season (which runs from July 1st to June 30th) with a season total of only 2.38 inches, or 36.7 % of the normal of 6.49 inches. The past season was the 2nd driest on record, surpassed only by the 1933-34 season which saw only 2.21 inches. Fresno fared much better, due to an unseasonably wet December through February, but the rains ended abruptly in late February and the season ended with 8.40 inches. This was 74.8 % of Fresno���s normal of 11.23 inches.||The Mariposa Complex wildfire, CalFire, Merced-Madera-Mariposa Unit, ignited on June 21 at 1500 PDT. The cause was lightning. The location was in and around Mariposa in Mariposa County. The size was 2500 acres. This fire was contained on 6/24/08 at 0730 PDT. There were no fatalities or lost structures. Cost unknown.||The Oliver wildfire, CalFire, Merced-Madera-Mariposa Unit, ignited on June 21 at 1710 PDT. The cause was lightning. The location was North of Ponderosa Basin. The size was 2789 acres and the fire was finally contained on 7/5/08. No fatalities or lost structures. Cost to containment was $12,217,857.||The Silver Complex wildfire, Sierra NF, ignited on June 21 at 1710 PDT. The cause was lightning.
