Millions of efforts were made to control the fire but the situation remains quite dire. The situation there has gone out of control due to the fire.

Ming Pan, a hydrologist at the University of California-San Diego, has said that Southern California is extremely dry and due to this the fire in the forests of Los Angeles took a severe form. Also, a lot of effort is required to control the fire. Soil moisture levels across much of Southern California are at a historic low of 2 percent in early January, he says.

Actually, October is the rainy season in California, but this time there has been less rainfall than normal, due to which the natural water sources have dried up. Scientists said that when the air became hot and dry, water from plants and soil also dried up due to transpiration and evaporation. This caused the forest to dry up and caused the fire to spread rapidly.

That being said, powerful Santa Ana winds also played a role in fanning the Los Angeles fires. More than 180,000 people have been forced to be displaced by the massive fire. The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow from the mountains toward the Southern California coast. Santa Ana wind events occur an average of 10 times a year in California, usually from fall through January.
