We are experiencing the Santa Ana winds in Southern California right now. It howls outside the house night and day. I am just waiting for the first spark of a fire in our mountains and then the wildfires will spark up.


What are Santa Ana winds?

During the fall and early winter, high pressure over the high desert of the Great Basin region causes winds on the southern side of the high to blow east, toward the Pacific Ocean and lower air pressure offshore. The eastern winds push dry air from the inland deserts of California and the Southwest over the mountains between coastal California and the deserts. Santa Ana winds

As the air descends from mountains, it is compressed and the temperatures increase. These hot, and very dry winds(relative humidty of 10 to 20% or lower are common) dry out vegetation, increasing the fuel available to feed fires. The gusty winds and eddies of winds swirling through canyons and valleys also fan flames and spread tinders.
