Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004031
A local thermal wind that blows across Lake Como in northern Italy, typically from the south during the afternoon. This wind develops due to differential heating between the land and the water, creating a pressure gradient that draws air from the cooler lake surface towards the warmer land. It is a reliable wind for sailing and other water sports on the lake.
