Sirocco

Encyclopedia Article

Sirocco, hot, dry, dust-laden southerly winds, originating in the Sahara and blowing off the North African coast during the spring and summer. While passing over the Mediterranean Sea, these winds pick up moisture, and when they arrive on the north shore, blowing chiefly across Italy, Sicily, and Malta, they produce humid, oppressive, and rainy conditions.
