As we can all imagine Aeolus is the best friend of the sailors.
Only he is able to give great emotions, adventures and fun, but as we all know never occurs under the same guise. In fact, thanks to the compass, we can identify where the wind blows in a certain direction, and depending on the wind, we will have different climatic characteristics that distinguish it.
Tramontana (N) is a cold wind from the north, frequently found in Liguria, especially in winter, where loop with particular violence and in particular to outlet of the valleys, causing sudden and significant drop in temperature. There may be a clear sky or cloudy sky with rain and when it is associated with a perturbed system. The latter case is, in fact, that said "dark north," which, in the Ligurian Riviera, pushes down the Apennines and the Alpine arc disturbances coming from the north. For this reason a proverb Ligurian decision: "dark north, rain safe."
Bora / Grecale (NE) is a wind blowing in the Adriatic Sea in Greece and Turchia.Il name derives from the fact that a north wind, "Northern Lights", which also draws on the mythological figure Greek called Borea. The Bora is famous in Trieste, where blows especially in the winter and is called "Bora clear" in the presence of good weather or "Bora dark" in terms of
disrupted. It 'called "bora door" that break the Alps (Julian Alps) between the mountain king (in Slovenian Nanos) and the Snowy Mountain (in Slovenian Sneznik). And 'here that channels air that literally falls on the Adriatic, Trieste and attenuated by investing primarily in North and South, in Monfalcone and the northern part of Istria. The bora continues its path along the direction acquired, sometimes reaching up to Venice, Chioggia, in particular, resulting in a lively waves. This type of wind can reach speed of 150 kilometers an hour (do not write their knots because you get scared!). Despite the healthy Trieste accustomed to this intensity, ropes and chains are often stretched out along the sidewalks of downtown Trieste, to facilitate pedestrian traffic on windy days more intense. Because of the frequency of windy days, the buildings should be constructed of appropriate criteria for the strength to bear. The occasional fall of a tile on passers is fortunately a rare exception.
Levante (E) is a generally weak wind blowing from east to west in the western Mediterranean. The wind originates in the middle of the Mediterranean off the Balearic Islands and blows eastward to reach its maximum intensity through the Strait of Gibraltar. His influence is felt to Italy on the Tyrrhenian Sea and the south central part of the Adriatic. It is a fresh wind and damp, the bearer of fog and precipitation, which is recognized as a cause of particular cloud formation above the Bay and the Rock of Gibraltar, where it can cause rough seas and waterspouts. The wind can occur at any time of year, but commonly occurs between July and October. In winter, the Sun is often accompanied by heavy rains. The name comes from the east wind seen as East, the cardinal point from which it originated.
Scirocco (SE) is a warm wind from the south-east coming from the Sahara and other regions of northern Africa.
It comes from warm tropical air masses and dry drag north from areas of low pressure moving eastward over the Mediterranean. The hot, dry air mixes with the wet cyclonic motion on the sea and the clockwise motion pushes this mass
air coastal regions of southern Europe.
Jugo dry air and dust up on the shores of North Africa, the Mediterranean storms and cold weather and humid Europe. The wind blows for a time ranging from half day to several days. Many people attribute this to the wind adverse health effects because of the heat and powder flow from the coasts of Africa and the descent of the temperature in Europe. Dust can cause mechanical damage and penetrate buildings.
These winds blow more frequently, at up to 100 km / h in spring and autumn, reaching a maximum in March and November.
The same wind took the name of Yugoslav and Croatian Ghibli in Libya. The south wind that reaches the coast of France contains more moisture and takes the name of the marine environment.
Ostro or South (S) (from the Latin Auster, southern wind) is the traditional name of a wind that blows from the south in the Mediterranean Sea and is also said south wind. The Ostro is a warm and humid wind carrying rain. Its effects on the Italian climate is rather weak and insensitive. The Ostro is sometimes identified with Libeccio or the Scirocco which is similar.
Libeccio (SW) also said Africa or Garbino.
There are more assumptions on the name: the most common, is that it derives from the fact that the island of Crete,
taken as a reference point for the name of the winds, blowing from the Libeccio Libya (ancient name the African continent).
The other, accredited linguists, is that it derives from the Arabic lebeg.
Garbino The name is used in the eastern part of Emilia Romagna and the Marche in the north. In Friuli Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia in is called Garbin.

Libeccio loop in Liguria, as coming from the African continent, there are no mountains or lands adjoining meet before the wind. The Libeccio can also cause heavy seas. Cruising in Liguria I happened to surf with a nice wind-30kns 35kns in heavy seas, with waves of 2-3 meters.
Ponente (W) also said Zephyr or experiment in the Mediterranean Sea is a wind that blows from the west. It is characteristic of the wind disturbance Atlantic crossing the Mediterranean from west to east. Its effects are felt especially on the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea south-central. The west is a fresh wind typical of summer afternoons, as well as the Libeccio can be the bearer of bad weather.
mistral (NW) is a strong cold wind from the north-west, typical of the winter season 
ale, with a special frequency that blows mainly in Sardinia and in the Rhone Valley, France.
ale, with a special frequency that blows mainly in Sardinia and in the Rhone Valley, France. The West and the Mistral winds are two I've sailed a lot, both easy to find in Sardinia. While the Mistral generally lasts three days, the West can go forward so for a week, but both can give a lot of emotions and 30 KNS safe safe.
Now that you know the various features of the winds blow and where I leave you wishing you good wind, the wind that you like!
