WHAT DOES GREGALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gregale

The Gregale is a Mediterranean wind that can occur during times when a low pressure area moves through the area to the south of Malta and causes a strong, cool, northeasterly wind to affect the island. It also affects other islands of the Western Mediterranean. The name derives from the Italian grecale, which refers to the island of Zakynthos, in Greece. This is likely to be the Euroclydon storm, from Greek Euros and kludo or Latin Aquilo "northeaster" or the island Clauda, which wrecked the apostle Paul's ship on the coast of Malta on his way to Rome.
