Diablo wind

== English == === Etymology === So called because in the San Francisco Bay area the wind blows from the direction of Mount Diablo and the Diablo Range, which ultimately gets its name from Spanish diablo (“devil”), the hot and fiery connotations of which may have reinforced the use of the name for hot, firestorm-causing winds. === Noun === Diablo wind (plural Diablo winds) A hot, dry (downslope) wind from the northeast that occurs in northern and central California, sometimes causing firestorms. Coordinate terms: Santa Ana wind, sundowner === Further reading ===
