That is totally tangential. LA has always had winds from the desert after the solstice. This is not unusual weather. It is very common here. I've fought this pattern every year for a decade and a half on a bicycle commuting everywhere. The dry desert wind will be countered by the southern coastal. Then it will go back and forth until the southern pattern produces rain. It works like this every year.
No, seriously, fire season is very normal for california.
When the fuel sources build up enough (i.e. no periodic burns), it can quickly run rampant in housing areas (which are mostly made of wood).
It's so normal, it's part of the ecosystem lifecycle!

If you look at the Wikipedia on California wild fires you will see that no, it's not more frequent
They also list total acres burned, and no, its not worse.
Please block me as I have done you.
