Diablo
dee-AH-bloh
The Northern California counterpart of the Santa Ana — a hot, dry, offshore wind that blows from the northeast through the San Francisco Bay Area, most dangerously in autumn. Named for Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County. The Diablo winds drove the 2017 Tubbs Fire, the 2018 Camp Fire, and multiple other devastating wildfires.
Etymology
Spanish for "devil." Unlike the disputed folk etymology of the Santa Ana, this wind earned its name directly — it comes off a mountain already called the devil.
