Maestro (wind)

Maestro (wind)

Maestro or maestral is a northwesterly wind which blows in summer in the Adriatic when pressure is low over the Balkan peninsula. It is a fresh breeze accompanied by fine weather and light clouds. It is not to be confused with mistral, a quite different (although also northwesterly) wind in southern France.

The maestro is the most favoured summer wind as far south as western Crete where it supposedly blows only during daytime.
