Libeccio
The libeccio (/lɪˈbɛtʃioʊ/; Italian: [liˈbettʃo]; Template:Lang-hr; Template:Lang-ca [ʎəˈβɛtʃ]; Template:Lang-el [ˈlivas]; Template:Lang-sr, [ˈlebitɕ])[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".
