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.

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.

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.

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

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

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,
