[[File:Downtown-glendora-with-morris-fire-smoke.jpg|thumb|right|Glendora Village in 2009 with [[2009 California wildfires|Morris Fire]] smoke plume]]
Glendora has a dry [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Csa'') characterized by hotter summers and slightly cooler winters than coastal areas in [[California]]. The dry weather lasts for most of the year except for the rainy season in the winter. Hot summer temperatures and warm [[Santa Ana winds]] in the fall increase the risk of wildfires in the surrounding mountains. The 2009 [[2009 California wildfires|Morris Fire]] and 2015 [[2015 California wildfires|Cabin Fire]] are some of the most recent wildfires affecting Glendora and nearby cities.
