Northern California Heatwave Sparks Extreme Wildfire Risk

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Northern California is facing extreme heat, with inland temperatures over 100°F instead of the typical 85°F for this time of year. Combined with drought conditions, the region is at high risk for wildfires. With hundreds of wildfires already burning across the U.S. and Canada, California remains at the center of the crisis, making fire suppression especially challenging in remote inland areas.
