The moderating temperatures in the 90s, after a brutal heat wave that had pushed them as high as 110 degrees, have aided firefighting efforts.
Firefighters were grateful to fight the Southern California blazes in temperatures 5 to 10 degrees lower than on Monday, as cooler temperatures allow them to work longer.
The dangerous fire conditions are expected to continue through Wednesday evening, despite the cool temperatures, due to strong winds and low humidity.
The improved weather conditions stem from a low-pressure system that initially brings stronger winds, posing risks for new wildfires to erupt.
