Sionnach, found more words for this wonderful list, courtesy of this week's WWFTD theme: tehuantepecer, shamal, sharki, suestado, sumatra, sundowner, taku, vardar, warm braw, and white squall. And here's a nice list for even more terms. :-)

In the area around Trieste, there is the bora (Italian; Slovene burja), a strong northeasterly wind that blows toward the Adriatic.

And if that's the case, I think we all know a few names for it.

You know, that makes so much sense that I actually checked it out again thinking maybe I had missed a really obvious joke.

um... AZ? They weren't talking about a different kind of wind, were they? I mean, the kind that one passes? Because I could see how *that* kind could kill a man but not blow out a candle.

I can't find a name for it, but in Madrid they say there's a wind that will kill a man, but not blow out a candle.
