A violent northeast wind that occurs in the Mediterranean Sea, particularly dangerous to ships; a tempestuous or destructive storm.
From Greek 'euros' (east wind) + 'klydon' (wave or surge); the term appears in biblical and classical texts describing a feared maritime phenomenon.
Euroclydon appears in the Bible's Acts 27 when St. Paul's ship encounters it during a voyage—this real Mediterranean weather pattern became immortalized in scripture, showing how ancient storms literally shaped religious history.
