Experts reveal climate change drove extreme wildfire seasons across the Americas, making burned areas much larger Human-driven climate change made wildfires in parts of South America and Southern California many times larger and more destructive, according to an annual assessment by international experts.

Wildfires aren’t necessarily happening more often, but they are becoming more intense.
A new international study shows that hotter, drier conditions are making it easier for fires to spread rapidly once they begin.

Supercomputer Recreates a Wildfire That Created Its Own Thunderstorm When California’s Creek Fire erupted in 2020, it burned so intensely that it created its own thunderstorm — a towering pyrocumulonimbus cloud that spewed lightning and reshaped the weather above it....

NASA-NOAA Satellites Show Smoke Complicates Wildfire Lightning Risk

A study on the Sparks Lake fire reveals that while wildfires can generate clouds producing lightning, this doesn't necessarily heighten the risk of new fires.

Smoke may even reduce the chance of igniting ground fires.
