Smoke advisory issued in Riverside County as Wolf, Mindy fires continue burning
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued a smoke advisory in Riverside County as the Wolf and Mindy fires continue to burn.
Although crews continue to make progress on the Wolf Fire in the Banning Pass and the Mindy Fire in the Anza area, winds have transported smoke to different areas of Southern California.
The smoke advisory will be in effect until 6 p.m. Officials said smoke from the Wolf Fire is expected to impact areas north to northeast of the fire, including the Banning Pass and San Jacinto Mountains. Smoke from the Mindy Fire is expected to impact the area north of the fire, including the Lake Riverside area and the Cahuilla Reservation.
Officials offer residents tips if they are in areas impacted by smoke:
Limit exposure outdoors
Keep windows and doors closed
Avoid rigorous physical activity
Run air conditioning units or air purifier
Avoid using fireplaces, candles, incense, pan-frying and grilling
Use properly fitting N95 or P100 masks

More than 320,000 in California Told To Keep Windows Closed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Wildfire smoke in Southern California has prompted officials to issue an air quality alert for roughly 320,000 people until 6 p.m. local time on Monday. A spokesperson with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) told Newsweek the advisory could be extended, and if so, an extension would be issued by Monday afternoon. Why It Matters The smoke is coming from two wildfires, the Wolf fire in Banning Pass and the Mindy fire in the Anza area, the AQMD advisory said. Both fires ignited on Sunday afternoon. As of the most recent update from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the Wolf fire in Riverside County is at 1,400 acres and 0 percent contained. The Mindy Fire, also in Riverside County, is at 100 acres and 70 percent contained. What to Know The air quality alert is impacting the cities of Idyllwild, Pine Cove, Indio, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Palm Desert Country, La Quinta, and Coachella. The most recent U.S. Census data estimates that around 320,000 people live in the impacted areas. Wildfire smoke can cause harmful fine particle pollution levels that affect everyone, the alert said. People are encouraged to take several actions to protect their health against the impacts of smoke: remain indoors with windows and doors closed; avoid intense outdoor physical activity; run the air conditioner and/or an air purifier; wear an N-95 mask if you must spend time outdoors; do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers; avoid other sources of pollution like fireplaces, candles, incense, grilling, and gas-powered equipment.

Toa55/Getty "Particles in wildfire smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and difficulty breathing," the alert said. "Everyone can be affected, but people with lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant, children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater risk." The air quality alert will remain in place until 6 p.m. local time Monday evening. An extreme heat warning also remains in place for part of Southern California on Monday. Northern California also faces a wildfire threat, with a red flag warning in place. "Lightning from dry thunderstorms can create new fire starts and combined with gusty winds may cause a fire to rapidly grow in Oregon and northern California," a forecast from the National Weather Service (NWS) said. What People Are Saying South Coast AQMD in an air quality alert: "Based on webcam and satellite imagery, winds are transporting the smoke from the Wolf and Mindy wildfires to the north into the Banning Pass and San Bernardino mountains, and into the San Jacinto wilderness and Hemet." CAL FIRE in an update about the Wolf Fire: "Firefighters made good progress over night. Multiple aircraft along with hundreds of firefighters on the ground, will continue to establish containment lines. Evacuation orders and warnings remain in place." What Happens Next The cause of each fire remains under investigation. Evacuation warnings and orders have been lifted for the Mindy fire but remain in place for the Wolf fire.

Rescuers evacuate 50 000 as Turkey battles wildfires
Rescuers in Turkey have evacuated more than 50 000 people, mostly from the western province of Izmir, as firefighters battled a string of wildfires, the AFAD disaster agency said on Monday. Officials said the worst blaze began on Sunday in Seferihisar, a forested area 50 kilometres southwest of the resort city of Izmir. It spread rapidly with winds of up to 120 kilometres per hour. "A total of over 50 000 citizens from 41 settlements have been temporarily relocated to safe areas," AFAD wrote on X, saying 79 people had been affected by smoke and other fire-related issues, none seriously. Of that number, 42 300 were evacuated from Seferihisar, where TV footage showed huge areas of flame raging through forested areas, sending vast clouds of black smoke into the sky. Overnight, around 20 evacuated homes were gutted by the blaze, with only the walls left standing, footage on private TV network NTV showed. Lokman Ilhan/Anadolu via Getty Images Residents in the seaside village of Urkmez had on Sunday felled trees to create firebreaks and protect their homes as the flames advanced, a witness told AFP. "Unfortunately, the wind is continuing to blow very strongly," Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli told reporters on Monday afternoon. The Turkish State Meteorological Service warned about strong winds over the weekend. Flights briefly suspended Yumakli said more than 1 000 people had been drafted in to tackle the blaze with four planes, 14 helicopters and 106 fire trucks. AFAD said another 3 000 residents were evacuated from Manisa, 40 kilometres north of Izmir. Another 1 500 people were forced out of their homes in the southern Hatay region, where four helicopters, 211 fire engines and 540 firefighters were fighting a blaze some 10 kilometres north of the city of Antakya, the governor said. READ | Peck's Valley fire contained, Boyes Drive reopened Around 850 others were forced to flee from two other wildfires in northwestern Turkey, AFAD said. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said on X that one person had been arrested for allegedly starting one of the wildfires in the Izmir area with gasoline. Without giving further details, he wrote: The suspect is alleged to have set fire to their own residence, (which) subsequently caused a forest fire. Since Friday, 263 fires had broken out across Turkey, of which 259 were under control while efforts were ongoing to fight the remaining four, the agriculture and forestry ministry said. Izmir airport, which temporarily suspended flights on Sunday, resumed operations, Turkish media reported. Wildfires have ravaged nearly 19 000 hectares of land across Turkey so far this year, according to the website of the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). Experts say human-driven climate change is causing more frequent and more intense wildfires and other natural disasters, and have warned Turkey to take measures to tackle the problem.

Forecasters to Lose Hurricane Satellite Data at the Worst Possible Time
In one month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Hurricane Center (NHC) will lose access to critical satellite data that lets meteorologists see inside the eye of a storm. This marks the latest blow to the agency's forecasting abilities as hurricane season gets underway. In an abrupt move that blindsided meteorologists and public officials on Wednesday, June 25, the Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) announced it was shutting down the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's (DMSP) data processing system on June 30 due to a 'significant' cybersecurity risk. Owned by the Department of Defense (DoD), DMSP weather satellites have provided forecasters with critical storm data since the 1960s. The decision sparked outrage from meteorologists and public officials, as it would cut off their access to all DMSP data and could significantly degrade forecast accuracy right at the start of hurricane season. Following pressure from NOAA and NASA officials, FNMOC postponed the shutdown until July 31, according to a NOAA message shared Monday, June 30. 'Late on Friday, June 27th, [the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC)] received a request from Dr. Germain with NASA to postpone the removal and to continue processing and distributing DMSP data through July 31st,' the message states, referring to Karen M. St. Germain, the division director for NASA's Earth Science Division. 'An update service advisory will be sent and FNMOC now expects to decommission DMSP processing no later than July 31st.' This will give NOAA and the NHC a few more weeks to prepare for the loss, but it's not clear what that will look like. There is currently no plan to resume the flow of DMSP data to NOAA, even when a new Defense Department weather satellite begins operations in October, CNN reports. NOAA has publicly maintained that the change will not impact the quality of hurricane forecasting and that there are many other sources of hurricane data that will allow for forecast accuracy this season. Gizmodo reached out to the public relations offices at the NHC, DoD, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Navy for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication. The primary aim of DMSP weather satellites is to support military operations, but meteorologists have used their data for general weather prediction and storm tracking for more than 50 years. These satellites capture microwave imagery of hurricanes using a handy instrument called the Special Sensor Microwave Image Sounder, or SSMIS. This tool works like a 3D X-ray, peering through the clouds to reveal the interior structures of tropical storms and hurricanes. Observing changes to the storm's eye and eyewall—a ring of tall thunderstorms that surrounds the eye and produces heavy rains as well as the strongest winds—can tell meteorologists whether a storm is strengthening or weakening. Having this information alerts them to major changes like rapid intensification hours before they show up in other data streams. Thus, these satellites are essential for understanding a storm's potential impact and giving officials time to warn people in its path. 'It's certainly one of the more important data sources that we have because it provides a unique dataset,' James Franklin, former chief of the NHC's Hurricane Specialist Unit, told Scientific American. 'It's the only way really to see through clouds and get a sense of the organizational structure of the core of a developing cyclone.' Rapid intensification is notoriously difficult to predict, but catching it ahead of time is critical, as it drastically increases the extent of a hurricane's impact. One example of this is Hurricane Milton, which made landfall in Florida on October 9, 2024. Within just 24 hours, this storm strengthened from a Category 1 to a Category 5, devastating the state's west coast. Losing access to DMSP data will make forecasting rapid intensification even more difficult for NHC meteorologists, and this isn't the first storm-tracking tool they have lost this year. Earlier this month, it became apparent that NOAA would not be using Saildrones this hurricane season. These drone ships sail directly into storms to collect real-time data that forecasters use to predict their strength and path. Like DMSP satellites, Saildrones are particularly useful for spotting early signs of rapid intensification. NOAA has relied on them for the past four years, but this year, the California-based company was 'unable to bid' on a NOAA contract, agency spokesperson Keely Belva told Gizmodo in an email. All of this adds to growing concerns about NOAA's readiness for hurricane season, which officially began on June 1 and ends on November 30. The agency predicts this season will be an active one, with six to 10 storms expected to strengthen into hurricanes. Of those, three to five could become 'major' hurricanes—Category 3, 4, or 5. Since President Donald Trump took office, NOAA has faced sweeping staff cuts, grant freezes, and travel and training restrictions. Stripping the agency of key storm tracking tools will add to this strain. Despite the upheaval, NOAA representatives say they are prepared. Other experts disagree. 'This decision will kill people,' hurricane researcher Jimmy Yunge wrote in a message to NOAA's Office of Satellite and Product Operations expressing concern about the loss of DMSP data. 'It will lead to millions, if not billions, of USD in additional damages per event.'
