The correct answer is:

✅ Santa Ana winds

Origin: High pressure over the Mojave Desert (Great Basin) forces dry, hot air downhill toward Southern California.

Effects:

Extreme dryness (worsens wildfires).

High speeds (40–60+ mph gusts).

Warm temps even in fall/winter ("devil winds").

❌ Pacifica winds: Not a real meteorological term.

❌ Atlantic wind: Irrelevant to California’s desert-driven winds.

Fun Fact: These winds get their name from Santa Ana Canyon (where they funnel through). 🌵🔥💨

Stay safe during fire season!
