Winter is by far the best season here in the Islets of Langerhans. Unfortunately, the Santa Ana season, with it's hot dry winds, lies between now and the advent of winter. Raymond Chandler mentioned them at the beginning of his story Red Wind:

There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.
That's probably a bit extreme but they do make people edgy, if for no other reason than they're worried about the extreme wildfire danger.
