The Gregale ({{lang-ca|Gregal}}, {{lang-it|Grecale}}, {{Lang-lmo|Grecal}}, {{lang-mt|Grigal}}, {{Lang-oc|Gregau}}, {{lang-el|Γραίγος}}, Graigos) is a Mediterranean wind that can occur during times when a low-pressure area moves through the area to the south of Malta and causes a strong, cool, northeasterly wind to affect the island. It also affects other islands of the Western Mediterranean. The name derives from the Italian grecale, which refers to the island of Zakynthos, in Greece.{{Fact|date=September 2008}} This is likely to be the Euroclydon wind, from Greek Euros (east) and kludon (billow, surge) or Latin Aquilo (north) "northeaster" or the island Clauda (Acts 27:16), which wrecked[1] the apostle Paul's ship on the coast of Malta on his way to Rome [2].
