Euroclydon (or inLatin:Euroaquilo) is a cyclonic tempestuous northeast wind which blows in theMediterranean, mostly in autumn and winter. It is the modern Gregalia (Gregale) orLevanter. The name "Euroclydon" comes from two classical roots:

  • the Ancient Greek word:εὐροκλύδων,romanizedeurokludōn, fromEuros (Eurus, meaning 'east wind')
  • either:
    • an Ancient Greek word:akulōn orakylōn, meaning 'north wind'); orkludon, referring to a surging wave (from the verbkluzo meaning 'to billow')
    • or the Latin word:aquilō (aquilon)

Although the Greek word is translated "northeaster" in many English Bibles,[1] Euroclydon is not to be confused with the term "nor'easter", a type ofextratropical cyclone affecting Atlantic coastal regions of the United States and Canada.
