“We’re going to be really right back in winter here the next couple of days with two or three pretty cold low-pressure systems coming,” said Mike Wofford, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard.

A buckled jet stream is blocking low-pressure systems and preventing them from reaching the UK.

Another possible reason is that the low-pressure system spinning off the coast — where the westward Santa Ana winds are traveling — wobbled a little bit farther to the north than expected, Kittell said.

The final ingredient, which elevated the winds and wildfires from risky to ruinous, was a low-pressure system spinning up over the Gulf of California.

A clockwise high-pressure system was parked over Northern California and the Great Basin as a counterclockwise low-pressure system hovered over Arizona.
