The morning prior, the National Weather Service Los Angeles issued an alert <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NWSLosAngeles\/status\/1876343016526598292\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on X<\/a> of \u201ca life-threatening, destructive windstorm\u201d that would hit large parts of Los Angeles and Ventura County on Tuesday afternoon through to Wednesday morning. California\u2019s fire season typically lasts from July to October, but January wildfires aren\u2019t unheard of.\u00a0 Experts point to climate change as a reason for these increasingly destructive wildfires. <\/p>\n<p>A 2023 fact sheet from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciline.org\/climate\/climate-change\/?utm_source=email&amp;utm_medium=2023-opt-in-journalists&amp;utm_campaign=2025-quick-facts-wildfire-and-climate-change&amp;utm_content=link\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SciLine<\/a> reports that the southwestern U.S. is in its driest 22-year period in the last 1,200 years, and the resulting dry, arid vegetation is perfect fuel for wildfires. Area consumed by summer wildfires increased eight-fold from 1972 to 2019. Fire seasons from 2003 to 2012 lasted an average 84 days longer than fire seasons recorded during 1973 to 1982. Average burn times of large wildfires increased as well, upping from under six days to over 50, a fact exacerbated by hotter and dryer nights making it more difficult for firefighters to contain wildfires.\u00a0 Much of Southern California is abnormally dry and undergoing drought conditions, <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/ca-drought-returns\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KTLA 5<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is from my hood. Look at the sky. That is smoke, not clouds from a fire that has consumed over 2,900 acres and remains uncontained. It\u2019s left so many homes and buildings without power and killed at least two people, with more left with significant injuries. <\/p>\n<p>Please stay\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3p1408K4aU\" >pic.twitter.com\/3p1408K4aU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Halle Berry (@halleberry) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/halleberry\/status\/1877099743798767802?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" >January 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>These conditions already make the region more prone to fire, and when coupled with the fast-moving Santa Ana winds, destructive wildfires can occur. Professor Stefan Doerr, Director of the Centre for Wildfire Research at Swansea University, gave a statement along the same lines to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c0ewe4p9128o\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>BBC<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWhile fires are common and natural in this region, California has seen some of the most significant increases in the length and extremity of the fire weather season globally in recent decades, driven largely by climate change.\u201d Like the aforementioned SciLine report, he concluded that asking to what degree climate change has impacted California is the next step in research.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Palisades Fire is 0% contained as of writing and has already burned nearly 16,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 buildings in the process. Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom have each declared a State of Emergency and a Red Flag Warning remains active in the region until 6 PM Thursday.
