Southern California is known for its frequent and intense wildfires due to dry conditions, strong winds, and hot temperatures.

Southern California is particularly vulnerable to wildfires, especially during the hot summer months and dry seasons. The region's Mediterranean climate, combined with Santa Ana winds, creates ideal conditions for wildfires. These winds are hot, and dry, and can reach speeds of up to 70 mph, making fires spread quickly. The issue is made worse by the absence of greenery and rain. Southern California wildfires, like the Thomas and Woolsey fires, have the potential to wreak havoc, particularly in counties like Ventura, San Diego, and Los Angeles.
