Understanding the Santa Ana Winds Fueling Los Angeles Wildfire

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Santa Ana winds are currently fueling a massive wildfire in Los Angeles, leading to home destruction and mass evacuations.
  • These winds, characterized as strong, dry, and warm, blow westward from Nevada and Utah to Southern California.
  • Most prevalent in the colder months, the winds are formed due to high-pressure systems over the Great Basin area.
  • The geography of the Great Basin acts like a "bowl," where heavy pressure pushes air through mountain passes, causing the winds to accelerate.
  • The dry air from the desert environment warms up as it descends down the mountains, increasing its potential to fuel wildfires.
