Santa Ana
Hot, dry gusts
Santa Ana is a hot, dry wind that blows from the desert toward the coast of Southern California, typically in autumn.
These winds are notorious for creating dangerous fire conditions and can gust powerfully through mountain passes: The Santa Ana winds fanned the wildfire across thousands of acres.
Santa Ana is also a city in Orange County, California.
