Relationship to the Drakensberg

In the article it is stated that the name bergwind "is named after the Drakensberg mountain range." However, I doubt that the name refers to the Drakensberg in particular, as the wind often blows down the western rather than eastern escarpment of southern Africa. Additionally, the flow pattern is sometimes also observed during late summer (it would appear from a statement in the article that it occurs during winter only) along the west coast^[1] and is then often associated with the west coast trough (personal research, hopefully to be published) Cnrwil004 (talk) 11:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
