Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

More Santa Ana winds are expected in California, which is still reeling from the wildfires in Los Angeles County. As the winds intensify, experts are also warning of hidden health risks in the air. Reporter Sarah Alegre has more.

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.

In a state that averages more than 7,500 wildfires a year some California homeowners keep helmets and fire hoses handy. However, the Los Angeles fires demonstrate a new reality: Wildfires in the state are growing larger and more ferocious and burning into suburbs and cities more often, experts told USA TODAY.

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.

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

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

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.

Two large wildfires that exploded on January 7 in Los Angeles were the most destructive and potentially the costliest in the city's history.  Still burning after three weeks, the Palisades and Eaton fires have so far caused 28 known fatalities and the destruction of

The hot, dry weather that led to the inferno was made 35 per cent more likely and 6 per cent more intense due to the warming planet, research found.

The analysis by the World Weather Attribution's climate scientists links the fires that broke out on January 7 to man-made climate change, which has extended the fire-prone conditions by an additional 23 days each year in California.

As a school committed to sustainability, it is crucial to educate students about the factors that made these fires so devastating.
