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.

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.

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 ...

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

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 scientific study found.

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.
