Explanation:

Sirocco (/sɪˈrɒkoʊ/), scirocco, jugo or, rarely, siroc (see other Names below) is a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and can reach hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe, especially during the summer season.

Sirocco is derived from the Arabic word sharqiya (شرقيه) which means easterly. This wind has different names in different languages, including:

Italian: scirocco

Sicilian: sciroccu

Spanish: siroco

Catalan: Xaloc

Maltese: xlokk

Occitan: siròc, eisseròc

Greek: Σορόκος (Sorokos)

Albanian: shirok

Croatian: jugo

Ligurian: sciòccu or mainassu

in Libyan Arabic: ghibli which means "coming from Qibla"

in Egypt: khamsin which means "fifty" ("fifty-day wind")

in Tunisia: chluq (probably from shuruq with the same meaning as sharqiya) or ch'hili

in Morocco: chergui (from sharq east
