Aren’t Santa Ana winds (and fires) a summer phenomenon?
Usually.
Well, I don't know, my California friend says the winds can happen at anytime
Indeed if the fires don’t get you the earthquakes and illegals will.
I gotta win the lottery to get out of here.
Late summer and fall is when they most often occur, and we occasionally have them in the winter and spring. They rarely occur in late spring and most of the summer. They are generated by ridges of high atmospheric pressure over Eastern California, Nevada and Utah.
In Ventura County, west of LA, they are called east winds.
