Unusual weather patterns have brought a surge of lightning strikes to California this summer, igniting numerous wildfires across the state.
The influx of moist air from the Pacific Ocean has created the perfect conditions for frequent and intense electrical storms.
This increase in lightning activity has resulted in the third-highest number of strikes in the past eight years, significantly impacting Northern California.
Firefighters and meteorologists are working diligently to manage the increased wildfire risk posed by these powerful storms.
