Here's todays WT-A...

D) Santa Ana
This wind, which blows from the deserts of California, is mentioned in Randy Newman's hit song 'I Love L.A.'. Surfers are possibly the only people who look forward to it.

Your Answer: Santa Ana

The Santa Ana is a warm dry wind which blows offshore along the coast of California, roughly between Los Angeles and San Diego. It originates in the desert areas during periods of high pressure which force air towards the coastal region. This air compresses as it moves down towards the ocean, and it is this compression which causes it to dry out and increase in temperature. The warm dry air, whilst enjoyable for surfers, can be catastrophic for farmers as it may cause damage to fruit crops and even wildfires. The line in Randy Newman's song goes "Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the North".
