    Explanation:

     1.  The term Sirocco (sometimes also spelled Scirocco) is an all-inclusive name given to hot and subsequently humid southeast to southwest winds originating as hot, dry desert-air over Northern Africa, flowing northward into the southern Mediterranean basin.

    2.  The levant is an easterly wind that blows in the western Mediterranean Sea and southern France, an example of mountain-gap wind.

    3.  The mistral is a strong, cold, dry and squally northerly wind that blows offshore with great frequency along the Mediterranean coast from northern Spain to northern Italy, and that is particularly frequent in the lower Rhone valley in south-eastern France blowing way out into the Golfe du Lion..

    4.  n the cold winter months of regions east of the Rocky Mountains, a strong, dry, warm wind sometimes blows from the mountains across the land. These winds, known as Chinook winds, can bring quick temperature changes.
