In the case of winds it is actually observable 3 I, 7 | time comes to speak of the winds.-So when there are many 4 I, 7 | winter was dry and north winds prevailed, and the wave 5 I, 7 | due to an opposition of winds. For in the gulf a north 6 I, 10| dew is found with south winds and not with north winds. 7 I, 10| winds and not with north winds. There the opposite is the 8 I, 10| and it is found with north winds and not with south. The 9 I, 10| south wind. Only the north winds quench the heat before any 10 I, 13| us explain the nature of winds, and all windy vapours, 11 I, 13| thing, assert that all the winds are one wind, because the 12 I, 13| they maintain that the winds appear to differ owing to 13 I, 13| true in the case of the winds, there might be some truth 14 I, 13| as painters represent the winds, as drawing their source 15 II, 1 | evaporated and is the cause of winds and the turnings back of 16 II, 2 | grew, and the air caused winds and solstices. The objection 17 II, 3 | south is the warmest of winds and it blows from dry and 18 II, 4 | proceed to the theory of winds. Its basis is a distinction 19 II, 4 | source and substance of all winds. That things must necessarily 20 II, 4 | the contrary the case of winds is like that of rivers. 21 II, 4 | spring. So too with the winds; a great quantity of air 22 II, 4 | quantity that clouds and winds appear in their natural 23 II, 4 | district or is even driven by winds to some distant place: or 24 II, 4 | cause of the predominance of winds from the north and from 25 II, 4 | south is the same. (Most winds, as a matter of fact, are 26 II, 4 | matter of fact, are north winds or south winds.) These are 27 II, 4 | are north winds or south winds.) These are the only regions 28 II, 4 | most and most important winds should come from these quarters. ( 29 II, 4 | from these quarters. (The winds from the north are called 30 II, 4 | south Noti.)~The course of winds is oblique: for though the 31 II, 4 | question might be asked whether winds originate from above or 32 II, 4 | implies that the source of winds is above. But since wind 33 II, 4 | facts bear out the view that winds are formed by the gradual 34 II, 4 | prevalence of north and south winds and also why wind moves 35 II, 5 | checks the formation of winds and stimulates it. When 36 II, 5 | these ways the sun checks winds and prevents them from rising 37 II, 5 | asked: why do the north winds which we call the Etesiae 38 II, 5 | are no corresponding south winds after the winter solstice? 39 II, 5 | the so-called "white south winds" do blow at the corresponding 40 II, 5 | yet receded far. The "bird winds" blow in the same way after 41 II, 5 | correspond in the ordering of its winds as well as in other things. 42 II, 5 | The prevalence of north winds here is due to our lying 43 II, 5 | beyond Libya east and west winds are always blowing alternately, 44 II, 5 | alternately, like north and south winds with us. So it is clear 45 II, 5 | south.~The origin of these winds and their relation to one 46 II, 6 | explain the position of the winds, their oppositions, which 47 II, 6 | from one another, those winds must necessarily be contrary 48 II, 6 | diameter.~The names of the winds according to their position 49 II, 6 | to Eurus. These are the winds that are diametrically opposite 50 II, 6 | contraries.~There are other winds which have no contraries. 51 II, 6 | circle, but not quite.) These winds have no contraries. Meses 52 II, 6 | most important and definite winds and these their places.~ 53 II, 6 | their places.~There are more winds from the north than from 54 II, 6 | a greater space.~Of the winds we have described Aparctias 55 II, 6 | Thrascias and Meses are north winds too. (Caecias is half north 56 II, 6 | Argestes. More generally these winds are classified as northerly 57 II, 6 | northerly or southerly. The west winds are counted as northerly, 58 II, 6 | therefore colder; the east winds as southerly, for they are 59 II, 6 | for the division of the winds into northerly and southerly. 60 II, 6 | northerly and southerly. East winds are warmer than west winds 61 II, 6 | winds are warmer than west winds because the sun shines on 62 II, 6 | the distribution of the winds it is clear that contrary 63 II, 6 | it is clear that contrary winds cannot blow simultaneously. 64 II, 6 | be overpowered and cease. Winds that are not diametrically 65 II, 6 | simultaneously: for instance the winds from Z and from D. Hence 66 II, 6 | of them, though different winds and blowing from different 67 II, 6 | the same point.~Contrary winds commonly blow at opposite 68 II, 6 | Caecias and in general the winds north of the summer solstice 69 II, 6 | Thrascias, and Argestes are the winds that fall on others most 70 II, 6 | and stronger than other winds. They bring fair weather 71 II, 6 | fair weather most of all winds for the same reason, for, 72 II, 6 | they overpower the other winds and stop them; they also 73 II, 6 | clouds."~When they cease, winds are succeeded by their neighbours 74 II, 6 | cause, and the cause of winds moves with the sun.~Contrary 75 II, 6 | moves with the sun.~Contrary winds have either the same or 76 II, 6 | explained before. These winds and Meses are most commonly 77 II, 6 | generally formed when some winds are blowing and others fall 78 II, 6 | them; and these are the winds which are most apt to fall 79 II, 6 | Apeliotes.~So much for the winds, their origin and nature 80 II, 8 | We sometimes find several winds blowing simultaneously. 81 II, 8 | especially towards dawn, for the winds, as a rule, begin to blow 82 II, 8 | cold, summer too dry for winds to form. In time of drought 83 II, 8 | evidence of the fact that winds move below the surface of 84 II, 8 | ensues. For there often are winds before eclipses: at nightfall 85 II, 8 | or up from below: just as winds are the causes of waves 86 II, 8 | of waves and not waves of winds. Else we might as well say 87 II, 8 | the presence of contrary winds. It occurs when the wind 88 II, 8 | small district only; whereas winds are not local. Such phenomena 89 II, 8 | come about in this way but winds do not. For earthquakes, 90 II, 8 | sea by the action of the winds. Again, it is so extensive 91 III, 4 | generally with southerly winds.
