With large wildfires burning in California, the smoke has been captured by satellite, and on our WeatherRadar.

Fuelled by Santa Ana winds, one of the biggest blazes is the Palisades Fire, covering more than 23,000 acres west of Los Angeles. As of Tuesday, it is still just 17% contained.

On January 10th, NASA satellites, Terra and Aqua, captured the smoke trails from orbit. While, our WeatherRadar also caught the smoke as it drifted towards the Pacific Ocean.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
