Southern California faces a heightened risk of wildfire reigniting due to strong winds, authorities warn.
The danger is exacerbated by the region’s lack of rainfall since April, according to the US chief meteorologist.
Citizens of Southern California are afraid of the increasing risk of strong winds and wildfires, for which they have already prepared.
It should be noted that at least 27 people have died and several homes have been destroyed as a result of the fire in the city of Los Angeles, California.
According to US media, the National Weather Service has issued a warning for parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
They said that very strong winds are expected near the coast with speeds of 70 miles per hour and 100 miles per hour in the mountains.
US chief meteorologist Rich Thompson says that the windy and dry weather will continue until Thursday. He also warned that the risk of fires is high because the area has not had any rain since April.
The report added that fires are likely to flare up in Southern California, including San Diego, on Monday and Tuesday due to strong winds, with gusts of up to 60 mph.
Residents are being warned to prepare for evacuation by taking steps such as building emergency kits and half-filling their cars with gas.
Firefighters are still battling two major fires in the Los Angeles area. The wildfire started on January 7 and has destroyed 14,000 buildings so far.
