Intense wildfires raging in the Grand Canyon and Utah are generating pyrocumulus clouds, also known as "fire clouds." These clouds form due to the extreme heat rising from the blazes, carrying smoke and moisture into the atmosphere. The pyrocumulus clouds can then trigger unpredictable weather patterns, including lightning and strong winds, which can further exacerbate the fire conditions. Firefighters are closely monitoring these weather systems as they pose a significant challenge to containment efforts.
