It is described as a warm and humid wind that often carries rain, but it is also sometimes identified with the [[Libeccio]] and [[Sirocco]]. <!-- some info copied from the Italian wikipedia, but needs verification --> ==External links== <!-- Provisional reference: --> [http://www.mondorf-wetter.de/regiowind/winda02.htm#auster List of wind names (in German)] {{Italy-stub}} [[Category:Winds]] [[ca:Migjorn (vent)]] [[it:Ostro (vento)]]
