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

The California fires erupted amid extremely dry conditions. UCLA scientists say extreme heat linked to climate change was a factor in the fires' intensity.

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.

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

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 ...

The Palisades and Eaton Fires are among California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfires on record, with at least 28 killed and over 16,000 structures destroyed. “All the pieces were in place for a wildfire disaster — low rainfall,

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.

A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.

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.

USC trims a double-digit deficit to one point late in the second half, but Sebastian Mack hits a critical 3-pointer and Aday Mara continues to impress as the Bruins win their fourth straight,

According to the National Weather Service, periods of moderate to heavy rain are expected through Monday afternoon and could trigger flash flooding and mudslides in fire zones.

The first significant rainfall in several months will spread across Southern California this weekend, giving a badly needed sip of water to an area parched by drought and devastated by multiple raging wildfires.
