9.   Santa Ana winds are dry and warm winds in the Southern California area that blow in from the desert -- which includes the Great Basin of the western United States. But Santa Ana winds are not hot due to its desert origin, infact they occur during the cooler part of the year, September to May.

During the winter half-year, the Great Basin tends to be cooler than the LA Basin. Periodically, high pressure builds over the Great Basin. The Great Basin resides at a higher elevation than the LA Basin, which is near sea level. Hence due to the high pressure at the Great basin, winds blow from Great basin onto LA Basin as cold Santa Ana Winds.

But, the air flowing into Southern California, forming the Santa Anas winds, is subsiding. When air descends, it is compressed, and its temperature rises. Thus the Santa Ana winds are warm and dry.
