- El Niño is here. What that means for fire season in Southern California
El Niño is expected to influence Southern California's fire and flood risks in 2025, with experts warning of potential disasters including wildfires and flash flooding. A hot, dry winter has already led to fires, and the National Weather Service predicts a 63% chance of a very strong El Niño from November to January. Fire officials advise creating defensible space around homes to mitigate wildfire risks.
