The libeccio (/lɪˈbɛtʃioʊ/; LevecheItalian:[liˈbettʃo]; Serbo-Croatian: lebić[lěbitɕ]; Catalan: llebeig[ʎəˈβɛtʃ]; Maltese: Lbiċ; Greek: λίβας[ˈlivas]; Occitan: labech[laˈβetʃ])[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".
The direction of the Leveche is mostly from southeast, south or southwest, and it occurs along the coast from Cabo de Gata to Cap de la Nau, and even beyond Málaga for a distance of some 16 kilometres (10 mi) inland.[1]
