This has been a very long lasting Santa Ana event here in Socal, especially in the more wind-prone areas such as where I live. The wind started blowing on Sunday night and has continued for this entire week for the most part, except for some brief lulls at times. It has been extremely warm here in Orange with highs in the mid or upper 80s the last couple of days. There have even been a few reports of it reaching 90, but I don't think it has reached that in my backyard. The last three nights or so have been incredibly warm at my location with the wind and have been in the low-mid 70s! It has actually been warm enough to go outside in shorts at night, almost unheard of this time of year. This nighttime warmth has been highly localized, though, and has been mostly confined to the more wind-prone areas such as where I am located. For example, late last night it was in the low 70s here in my part of Orange, but at the same time Fullerton was 51, Miramar NAS (San Diego) was in the upper 40s, and Temecula was 46.
Fire activity had been very low here in Socal despite the incredibly dry conditions and windy weather this week, and for most of the season for that matter, but that changed last night with the brush fire near Glendora and Sierra Madre, which has burned about 5 homes the last I heard.
