An unusually warm autumn heat wave is hitting California, leading to fire risks and power shutoffs across northern regions as temperatures soar beyond average.
The heat wave's abnormal nature for this time of year is drying landscapes, reducing humidity, and increasing the potential for rapid wildfire growth throughout California.
PG&E has initiated power shutoffs affecting thousands of customers to mitigate the risk of wildfires, responding to heightened dangers from high winds and dry conditions.
Evacuations were ordered in Southern California as wildfire hazards became severe, particularly with the ongoing incidents in San Bernardino County.
