"So the Santa Ana winds are basically kind of like a wind event that takes place in Southern California. It’s just essentially due to when we get an area of high pressure usually to kind of build over the Great Basin states. So that’s Nevada and western Utah. And then a usually lower pressure to the south. And it’s basically the pressure difference between high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south that causes a northeast wind over Southern California. What makes these specially impactful is that they are in a fire area."

"You have these mountains to the north and to the east. And what happens is the winds kind of but up against those mountains, they kind of go over the mountains and then they kind of come crashing down on the other side and accelerate as they do so. So it’s not only those little gaps between the mountains, you know, the winds that don’t go funneling through the gaps can also just kind of come riding up and over, almost kind of like a roller coaster, essentially."

"Some of the fires did get significantly more contained as the winds were able to die down. They were able to get those planes in the air because the winds weren’t as strong. The concern is that over the next couple of days through midweek at least, you know, the winds are going to be speeding up. And it’s possible that some of these fires can become out of control once again."

"So the research on climate change in these wildfires in Southern California says that by the year 2100, we’re going to be seeing about a 75% increase in burn area for the state of California. That’s an exceptional stat that is extremely concerning as we move forward here over the next several decades."
