Nice list, bilby. You may want to check out sionnach's "Winds of the World" list. :-)

Hi reesetee, thanks for the comment.
I saw that many of these words were on sionnach's list. And at least Fremantle doctor is often on the lips of cricket commentators during the annual Test match in Perth!
Most of the first-time-listed words are from native languages and refer to Alaskan winds.

It's a great list. I always enjoy comparing lists on the same topic, too--everyone has a different take on what is "list-worthy." :-)

Hey bilb--posted this at sionnach's wind list too. Found more words for you, courtesy of this week's WWFTD theme: tehuantepecer, shamal, suestado, sumatra, sundowner, vardar, warm braw, and white squall (though I see you already have "squall" listed). Also, here's a nice list of more terms. :-)
