The rapidly-warming Arctic is shrinking the temperature difference between that region & lower latitudes, which weakens the jet stream. As a result, rather than a fast-moving flow of air, the jet stream is taking a slow, meandering path across the Northern Hemisphere.https://twitter.com/rahmstorf/status/1062627675771232256 …

It's a no-brainer that increasing heat and drought boost wildfires - but there is more interesting science to it, e.g. the connection to the jet stream and even the Arctic. https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/2018/11/the-many-ways-climate-change-worsens-california-wildfires/ …
