I will give you this, Santa Ana winds can occur in January apparently but they are commonest in Autumn, from Oct to Dec. They tail off in winter. Wiki states Santa Ana winds are known for the hot, dry weather that they bring in autumn (often the hottest of the year), but they can also arise at other times of the year.[Also the wet season starts in December, not October, as I claimed, ok, but December has gone by with no rain. .
Rain falls from Dec to March usually. They've had none. All the rain apparently has fallen further north,

Los Angeles usually gets several inches of rain by now, halfway into the rainy season, but it’s only recorded a fifth of an inch downtown since July, its second driest period in almost 150 years of record-keeping. The rest of Southern California is just as bone-dry.
So your assertion that there has been rain in LA is totally false. I also noted several other factors that have been implicated, your "almost entirely fabrication" under etc etc. is also wrong
Your definition of drought is also wrong, stored water has nothing to do with it. Definition, (perhaps look t up, Shyaku?, A long period of abnormally low rainfall, especially one that adversely affects growing or living conditions. Obviously stored water might alleviate a drought but the drought is still there.
A heat wave is still a heat wave, even if you have an air-conditioner to ameliorate it. A parched drought-stricken landscape is still a fuel for wild fire, even if water still flows through your tap.
If you're going to attack someone on these pages for their mistakes or misunderstandings, which we can all do at times, it would pay first to get your own facts right, and secondly not put people's backs up by such confrontational language. Thank you, JKM
And, why am I wasting my time.with a person I've never met and haven't a clue about........
