The libeccio (/lɪˈbɛtʃioʊ/; Leveche Italian: [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 south-east, south or south-west, 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]
