If this summer is bringing globally excess and record breaking heat......i dread to think what this winter will bring with the cold weather...
 
Thought about posting some update on the "infernos" that blaze across California (and other US states):

The National Interagency Fire Center reported in mid August that the fire season had been the most destructive since 2011. Nationwide, a total of 6,058,694 acres (24,519 km2) had burned, which is roughly triple the total from the same time span in 2014.[3] By the end of August, the 2015 season year to date total acreage had surpassed any in the last 10 years with 7,825,559 acres (31,669 km2) being burned.[4]

Strangely, a friend who now lives in the San Francisco area (Mountain View) wasn't even aware that this fire season is the worst in years, even said that didn't notice anything abnormal. I guess he doesn't read SOTT that often. Speaking of SOTT, searching for 'california fires' results in more than 8000 entries, had some trouble sorting by date.

This map truly puts data in perspective:

The Calfire Dept site has more info and logs of all the fires:
