How Heat, Lightning, and Climate Change Create Mega Wildfires | Mutant Weather 101

A warmer planet is creating drier conditions and increasing lightening activity – this means more fuel AND ignition - causing catastrophic wildfires and other anomalies like firenadoes. The trend is showing more megafires and a longer fire season, in some cases making wildfires a year-round concern. Large wildfires are also burning in unusual places such as the Arctic Circle. This episode follows recent megastorm events in California and Alberta, Canada.
