Wildfires are raging across both U.S. coasts this week, turning skies smoky and keeping firefighters on high alert. From New York’s leafy suburbs to California’s drought-prone valleys, these blazes highlight climate challenges hitting home. 🌎🔥

Meanwhile, California continues its annual struggle with wildfires. While not yet at peak season, firefighters warn that lingering dry patches could ignite fast-spreading blazes. 💨🌡️
Meteorologists say the ‘perfect storm’ of weather conditions — little rain + gusty winds — means safety alerts will stay active for days. Stay tuned for updates and download local air quality apps to track smoke zones! 📲👩🚒
