Santa Ana Winds
- Occur when air from a region of high pressure over the dry, desert region of the southwestern United States flows westwards towards low pressure located off of the California coast
- These dry winds flow east to west through the mountain passes in Southern California
- These winds are most common from October to May
- These winds feel warm or hot because as the cool desert air moves down the side of the mountain, it is compressed, causing the air temperature to rise
- These strong winds can cause major property damage
- These strong winds increased wildfire risk due to the dryness of the winds and their speed
