What does SOLANO mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A hot, dust-laden wind that blows from the east or southeast across parts of Spain and the western Mediterranean.
Solano is the Spanish name for a hot easterly or southeasterly wind that reaches the Iberian coast from across the Mediterranean, carrying dust and raising temperatures much like the better-known sirocco does further south. Regional winds of this kind are traditionally given their own local names across the Mediterranean world, since each blows from a slightly different direction and affects a distinct stretch of coast. English borrowed the term directly from Spanish along with the phenomenon itself, and it appears mainly in writing about Mediterranean geography or climate.
