At times they can also be bitterly cold with wind chill close to freezing, but I don’t remember the exact science behind that. The worst one I ever saw hit about 90mph gusts and what a mess! It tore off roof shingles, ripped down small trees and destroyed my back yard fence.
I live in San Diego it was recess time at school and all the girls crowded in the girls bathroom most pulled out their phones. I gotta admit it was kind of fun!
I'm a Technological Innovation Specialist (AKA Inventor) I don't know who to contact so I'm just going to toss the idea out there. It may be dumb, the solution may be out of scale with the problem. ( Or it might spark a really good idea in someone else who decides to run with it and cut me out of it and modify it with a clearer understanding of the problem.) The clearest solution would seem to be, the world find an alternative to burning carbon based fuels. But, and here's an idea, we are already pumping a buttload of water from the north to So Cal and Az. What if giant industrial scale jets of water were directed down these canyons at the worst time in order to humidify and remove some of the heat and energy through evaporation? I would think that this would cool and humidify the air and slow it down. The action of evaporation of the water should remove a huge amount of energy not to mention make the air wetter and less likely to start a fire. It might be a good best practice to adopt for firefighters with our changing weather patterns to spot treat a canyon that hasn't yet gone up in flames too. I don't have access to the data.
I have a Geography test tomorrow. Thank you for a better explanation.
The hills/valley creates a VENTURI
Wow, CXG wasn't kidding

That sounds miserable.
Gammareign Yeah, they can suck bad if you have allergies, breathing issues, or get nosebleeds because you are sensitive to dry air.
Great explanation!
Just fill in the canyon
