The California fires erupted amid extremely dry conditions. UCLA scientists say extreme heat linked to climate change was a factor in the fires' intensity.
In a new quick-turn analysis, UCLA climate scientists found that climate change could be responsible for roughly a quarter of the extreme vegetation dryness present when the Palisades and Eaton fires began. But they say the fires would still have been extreme even without that moisture deficit.
Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate when the blazes ignited and destroyed more than 12,000 structures. Here are the latest updates.

Climate change — particularly whiplash between two wet winters followed by a bone-dry, unusually hot spring, summer and fall — set the stage for Los Angeles' deadly and devastating fires, scientists say.
Research shows rapid shifts between wet and dry extremes are increasing. Scientists say this 'hydroclimate whiplash' contributed to California's devastating fires.
The recent Los Angeles wildfires that have ravaged through the Pacific Palisades, Altadena hills and the surrounding areas have been devastating, and spectators across the country have watched as firefighters and first responders courageously battle the flames.
