When people claim global warming/climate change was responsible for Maui:
“So, again, it’s unclear what exactly happened in the Peshtigo Fire of 1871— whether it was a fire tornado, or a more broad fire storm.
But either way, it was a perfect combination of conditions that we have thankfully never recreated since.”
“This occurred ahead of strong southwest winds & temperatures surging into the 80s to 90 ahead of a cold front on the 8th. Temperatures in the mid- to late-afternoon were warmer in Minnesota, Iowa & Wisconsin than the southeast U.S.”
I don’t know about you, but 90 degrees in the upper Midwest in October sounds pretty hot to me.
