Leveche

The libeccio is a pervasive throughout the year over in Northern Corsica west or south-westerly wind. He can often bring high seas and heavy winds from a westerly direction with it. As the wind comes from the North of Africa, he carries hot air and fine dust from the Sahara with it. In summer it is dominant, in winter it alternates with the Tramontane (north- east or north ).

The word is Italian libeccio and probably comes from the Latin adjective libiticus or Libeticus meaning " libyan ".
