The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow down the mountains toward the Southern California coast. The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.

Extreme conditions helped fuel the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes. Scientists are working to figure out how climate change played a role in the disaster.

Critical fire conditions are expected to continue through Friday. But rain could be on the way this weekend. Here's what to know.

Fire season continues to drag on with another round of Santa Ana winds and bone-dry conditions this week ... and it's going to get drier and warmer,” UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain said, during an online briefing. The winds were expected to increase ...

New studies are finding the fingerprints of climate change in the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, which made some of extreme climate conditions — higher temperatures and drier weather — worse.

A UCLA study found that the Eaton fire disproportionally impacted Black households in Altadena. Here’s what they found.

More than an inch of rain fell in parts of Los Angeles Monday afternoon, triggering flash flood watches and warnings in areas scorched by this month's wildfires.

Although pieces of the analysis include degrees of uncertainty, researchers said trends show climate change increased the likelihood of the fires.

The Palisades and Eaton fires are among California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfires on record, with at least 29 killed and over 16,000 structures destroyed. “All the pieces were in place for a wildfire disaster — low rainfall,

The Bruins’ winning streak is at four games with reason for additional optimism after a hard-fought 82-76 victory at the Galen Center, while Trojans coach Eric Musselman’s quickly assembled roster

Climate change did not cause the Los Angeles wildfires, nor the now infamous Santa Ana winds. But its fingerprints were all over the recent disaster, says a large new study from World Weather Attribution.

Climate change caused primarily by fossil fuel burning had increased the likelihood of the California fires, scientists say
