officials urged tourists to stay away from the holiday island. thousands took shelter in the airport, waiting to evacuate. we're actually going to go to greece. there's a lot of wildfires there so because of the wildfire, hawaii is just the latest place affected by extreme conditions. scientists say the world has just experienced its hottest month in recorded history, exacerbated by human, caused climate change. while other i spoke to matthew, pushy, he's a base urologist and act historic scientist based in washington dc. he says dry weather and strong winds are fueling these fires. well, i think one thing that's very much key is that they've had a drought lately. the air there was dry, the land is little bit dryer than average. and obviously you have dryer temperatures, which means dry conditions and more fuel available to burn. but at the same time of
5:05 am
fire, this big, which does far as burn about $240.00 to hector's, can only grow to that size. if the winds are strong, then it is a case right now. how retain door a pass about 800 kilometers south south west upon a lulu. but at the same time, it's winfield was big enough that they're still seeing wins flowing in the storm of about 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. those eastern or these winds will continue much of the day. and again, augusta were 70 kilometers per hour, helping those flames to spread right now. 6 people haven't confirmed dead about 12000 people on the northwest people. now we in the town of behind our biggest risk, 2100 people are in shelters at this hour as well. now looking at the pictures that we just showed, lots of the areas affected, looked like a forest. and in those night sharp, to see if you can pull them up again. but actually from what i was reading much of them, a holmes has a surprise to how quickly this has escalated. i think one thing that is very
5:06 am
unfortunate about a situation like this is that it's much like the fires we saw in colorado several years ago. obviously fires do happen to natural territory, but when you have homes that are close together in that much easier for the plains, hot from one building to another to another because of the central leads the fire, that's just a big stack of wood. that's just the stack of fuel. so yes, that is kind of the, the most difficult part with this. but right now we have about 7.7 percent of the entire state of hawaii. under at least a moderate drought or worse. there is worse than one year ago, and the i believe in now we is seems to me the worst road at this point. so yes, it is significant, but really it's one of those situations where even those abnormally dry, the wind is the biggest factor and how tightly packed homes are, is another big factor that just focus through the changes and the weather patterns that we're seeing taking place elsewhere. around the world. well, one thing that we've noticed in the past and particularly the past decade or so has
5:07 am
been enough taking the amount of extreme fire behavior we're seeing not saying that's necessarily case this time around. but as your continues to warm, you have hotter temperatures, which sap the ground of moisture even more made it easier for the landscape to burn simultaneously when you have big sprawling key terms or regions of high pressure in control. which is what brings very warm temperatures to begin with. you also sort of expand the atmosphere vertically. what that does is allow the fires to grow taller, allow the smoke to pour higher into the atmosphere and allow realistically for that extreme fire behavior to become more common. we've seen that time and time again over california, over russia, over alaska, the mass, several years. this sort of a different type of fire, this more a structure fire compared to big boiler, a forest fire. but regardless, you know, whenever wind is a factor, you tend to get higher end results. i think i'll put you. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. it's now extreme weather, all of another kind has devastated pots of snow venue. so the has affected 2 thirds
