SoCal wildfires update

New wildfires have erupted in southern California this week, including the Auto Fire shown in the video above. Dangerous wind gusts continue through Wednesday afternoon, keeping the fire threat elevated.

All eyes will be on the WindRadar through the afternoon as wind gusts up to 60 mph keep the fire threat elevated. Powerful Santa Ana winds up to 100 mph contributed to multiple large fires last week, including the deadly Palisades Fire, which has burned nearly 24,000 acres.

Even those not directly impacted by the wildfires are dealing with low air quality and other issues due to these blazes. Keep an eye on our in-app air quality tool.

While the WindRadar does show conditions improving through the remainder of the week, it's important to remain alert to any changes in wildfire movement.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
