Santa Ana winds are blowing through California, and parts of the state are at an increased risk of wildfires because of drought.

On the morning of Jan. 7, just days into the new year, the Palisades Fire erupted and ravaged the Los Angeles County coast from Malibu to Santa Monica. Within 24 hours, two more fires —  Eaton and Hughes — ignited.

Wildfires are increasingly touching more diverse communities as fires grow in intensity and extend into urban areas, according to researchers.

A recent report by the World Weather Attribution group , which analyzes the influence global warming has on extreme weather events, explained that the recent Southern California wildfires were about 35 percent more probable to occur because of climate change.
