Libeccio
Sign in to savethumb|upright|Libeccio above Bastia The libeccio (; Leveche ; ; ; ; ; ) is the south-westerly wind of the Western Mediterranean (which predominates in northern Corsica all year round); it frequently raises high seas and may give violent westerly squalls. In summer it is most persistent, but in winter it alternates with the Tramontane (north-east or north). The word libeccio is Italian, coming from Greek through Latin, and originally means "Libyan".
