WASHINGTON — Human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires, a s

Southern California is facing fierce fires fueled by the Santa Ana winds, which threaten homes and put firefighters to the test.

Extreme conditions helped drive the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

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.

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

The Santa Ana winds tend to cause the same corridors to burn over and over again. Experts say the region needs to adapt.

There were more than 2,400 personnel assigned to battle the fire. All evacuation warnings were lifted Sunday afternoon, but some mandatory orders remain in place.

A new study finds that the region's extremely dry and hot conditions were about 35 percent more likely because of climate change.

Climate change caused by human activity increases the risk of devastating fires, like the ones in Los Angeles, California,according to the World Weather Attribution (WWA) network. The fires left at least 29 dead and thousands homeless.

Climate change was a major factor behind the hot, dry weather that gave rise to the devastating LA fires, a scientific study has confirmed. It made those weather conditions about 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution - globally recognised for their studies linking extreme weather to climate change.
