The fire is burning at the start of what is expected to be the hottest part of the year in Southern California. Temperatures in the 90s and 100s are forecast through Labor Day weekend. The highest temperatures are expected on Sunday and Monday. Extended triple-digit heat will blanket the valleys and inland areas. Midday temperatures in Castaic were around 100 degrees. Winds were 13 to 17 mph. Fuel moisture levels are well below historical averages in parts of Southern California, meaning vegetation is drying out faster this year. Dry vegetation is an important factor in the spread of fires. The state is coming off one of its driest winters on record, leaving hillsides covered in dry brush. California continues to face longer fire seasons as a direct result of climate change, according to CAL FIRE.
