It's fucking wild that they are getting wildfires in winter and yet there are people who still insist that climate change is not happening.

Not really related. It isn't heat driven or all that odd for SoCal weather.

It is because the wind is super dry in Southern California right now and this event is coming in pulses with big gusts for just a few minutes then nearly still in between. It is perfect weather to pick up embers and keep them viable over long distances.
