CZU AUGUST **LIGHTNING COMPLEX** 08/19/20 10PM

There are multiple large lightning-caused fires burining in southern San Mateo County and Northern Santa Cruz County. The fires continued to actively burn throughout the day due to low relative humidities, high temperatures and limited resources. Several communities have been evacuated or are under a warning. Fire activity may dictate more evacuations and road closures in the days to come. Firefighting resources are limited due to the number of fires burning throughout Northern California. Limited visibility due to smoke is hampering aircraft operations.

проблемы с молниями (пожары)


Explanation:
Дословно у них написано - множество (комплекс) молний. Но я бы перевел как проблемы. О множестве говорится уже в начале самого текста, лучше не построяться (имхо)

Explanation:
Тут не о комплексе молний, а о комплексе (группе) зон, условно объединенных в одно пространство, охваченное пожарами, вызванными ударами молний.

Перевод получается довольно многословный:

Группа территорий (зон), охваченных пожарами, вызванными ударами молний.

Как-то так, не очень, конечно... Еще подумаю:-)

The SCU Lightning Complex is approximately 20 separate fires broken into three zones; the Canyon Zone, the Calaveras Zone, and the Deer Zone. The fires continue to burn in steep, rugged terrain and are influenced by extreme temperatures, and low relative humidity.

neutral  Enote: По этой цитате комплекс - это 20 разных пожаров, которые происходят в 3 зонах. Имхо, в этой цитате комплекс - это опять много (20) пожаров, а не зон + Ирина, убедили. Пусть будут зоны

  -> Юрий, на спец. карте обозначены границы трех зон, а не 20 точек горения. В принципе конечно, все смешалось в этом определении.

Many of the fires began days ago, as a heat wave and unusual storms produced more than 20,000 lightning strikes. The resulting fires — and “complexes” of many small fires — have merged into major conflagrations in many parts of the state.
