A fresh round of deadly 100mph Santa-Ana winds will hit western states, raising America’s wildfire threat back to ‘critical’. As much of the country freezes in a minus-20C snow blast, warm, dry winds along the Pacific coast threaten ‘rapid fire spread and extreme fire behaviour’.

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.

A quick scientific study finds that 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.

Southern California will continue to face "dangerous fire weather conditions" including strong Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity through later this week, forecasters said Tuesday.
