A new study reveals that the number of days with hot, dry, and windy weather conducive to extreme wildfires has nearly tripled globally in the past 45 years, with significant increases in the Americas. Over half of this increase is attributed to human-caused climate change, leading to more synchronous fire weather conditions. This trend poses challenges for firefighting resources as regions that previously had distinct fire seasons are now overlapping. The study highlights the role of fossil fuel emissions in exacerbating fire weather.
