Wildfires Create Their Own Weather | Ottawa News
Description
Wildfires aren’t just burning trees—they’re brewing their own storms. Intense heat from blazes fuels pyrocumulomimbus clouds, monstrous fire-born storm systems that generate lightning through massive static charges. And when winds swirl into the fire, they spawn flaming tornadoes—pyro tornadoes—that spread destruction. Climate change is making these events more frequent and violent, turning wildfires into self-sustaining weather engines that worsen conditions and ignite new fires. Next time you see smoke, know it’s a sign of a volatile, fire-powered weather system on the move.
