    UCLA Climate scientist, Daniel Swain talks about this exact topic during his recent interview with Adam Conniver on his podcast, Factually.

    Go to timestamp 17:45 and you’ll hear Swain talk specifically about how this was a unique firestorm.

    Earlier in the interview (around the 12:00 minute mark) Swain points out that it has to do with the increasingly longer periods in between wet and dry periods that are occurring that contributed so heavily to the conditions for a fire of this magnitude becoming more likely to occur, especially when particularly strong Santa Ana Winds occurring this year.
