"Hawaii Faces Renewed Wildfire Threat as Low Humidity and Gusty Winds Persist"

Forecasters have issued red flag warnings for parts of the Hawaiian islands due to low humidity and wind gusts, increasing the risk of wildfires. While the winds won't be as strong as the ones that caused devastating fires in Maui three weeks ago, the dry vegetation and winds could fuel any fires that start. The conditions are similar to those that led to the Lahaina fires earlier this month, but not as extreme. The cause of the wildfires is still unclear, but experts believe a combination of dry vegetation, strong winds, low humidity, and drought created the perfect conditions. Wildfires in Hawaii have quadrupled in recent decades due to decreased rainfall, and the County of Maui has filed a lawsuit against the Hawaiian Electric Company for allegedly contributing to the disaster by not shutting off power despite warnings.
