Libeccio

Libeccio above Bastia

The libeccio (/lɪˈbɛtʃioʊ/; Italian: [liˈbettʃo]; Serbo-Croatian: lebić [lěbitɕ]; Catalan: llebeig [ʎəˈβɛtʃ]; Maltese: Lbiċ; Greek: λίβας [ˈlivas]; Occitan: labech [laˈβetʃ])^[a] is the westerly or south-westerly wind 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".
