In the United States, the winds are strengthening again in the Los Angeles region and are making it difficult to extinguish the historically extensive wildfires. Strong winds are expected to blow until Wednesday, says Los Angeles Times.
Several wildfires are raging in the state of California in and around Los Angeles for the fifth day. A total of nearly 16,000 hectares of land has burned and at least 12,000 buildings have been destroyed. More than 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate.
At least 16 people have been confirmed dead, says New York Times.
