North-wind synonyms

In the north and on the pampas the north wind is hot and depressing, while the south wind is cool and refreshing.

The north wind usually terminates with a thunderstorm or with a pampero, a cold south-west wind from the Andes which blows with great violence, causes a fall in temperature of 15° to 20°, and is most frequent from June to November - the southern winter and spring.

Storms endangering life and property occur only in the east, caused by a high north wind with snow or rain and a low temperature.

The south wind is dry, cool and invigorating, and banishes mosquitoes for a time; the north wind is hot, moist and relaxing.

The prevalent north wind and the rise of the water tend to keep the air cool in summer.
