Talking about the California winds, it is not wrong to say that they have a terrible reputation. Santa and Diablo winds have troubled the people of California by creating havoc all across the state. Winds coming from the southern part of the California state are referred as Santa. However, the ones coming from the north side are called Diablo. Both these winds are destructive for properties of people living in this state.
Dealing with a fire is not as problematic as it may sound, but the actual enemy is the wind. In an attempt to battle against gusts like hurricane, they end up making the skies full smokey along with other consequences that make it difficult to handle the situation.
Firstly diablo fires were successful to prompt electricity shutdown along with pacific gas for days. It means that the people in need or, more specifically the customers, will not be able to use these two facilitations. This makes everyday life quite difficult. On the other hand, there come the Santa fires; they add more fuel to the fire by whipping the fire towards the southland.
Noticeably, the wind itself is not such a big issue, but the moment it just blows, spreads and disperses - it makes the situation worse. Consequently, it lasts longer than you think. Starting in October, they remain persistent for the whole winter season. During spring, this jetstream takes a shift towards the Southside.
Hence the ripples of pressure affect North America to a great extent. This heavy pressure then causes the air to be pushed towards the west coast side. Santa Anas winds have been very crucial, and it is unidentifiable to figure out when they actually started. It is believed by some of the weather experts that they were here, even before we existed.
Ignoring the harsh consequences of these winds is not a choice; they are the direct cause of anxiety, allergies, and even deaths too. It is believed that the saddle wood fires, due to which homes were destroyed and were the direct cause of 3 deaths, were actually due to the Santa Anas winds.
According to the experts, the wildfire classic season is mid-October. No wonder, it is a bad time for the Southern California side of the state. Scientists have already warned people about that; the reason is that more and more people are coming and residing at this dangerous side of the state. It is not useless to say that this year, the rainy winter has got a lot of material to burn.
As announced by the national weather services, this year these winds will hit real hard, and the fire will affect the masses. Basically, the people who are the victim of these worst weather conditions are those who reside towards the end side or the boundary side of the state. In other words, people living in the developed sector of California are safe unlike those who are living at the edges of suburbs. The actual concern is the effects of the wind since they blow over the fireside, they destruct everything nearby, most importantly they create issues with the electric towers.
Hence, the outcomes are not just related to health, but the winds affect everything that is around. According to the experts, the change that needs to be taken regarding the fading away of whole scenario takes a lot of time. But, the decrease in Santa and Diablo winds is not evenly distributed. Even if the wind reduces, wildfires will also reduce, but that does not mean that there will be no wildfires.
Lets hope for better times and rapid change for a safer California!
