Košava (wind)

Košava (Serbian Cyrillic: Кошава, pronounced [kɔ̌ʃaʋa]) is a cold, very squally southeastern wind found in parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. It starts in the Carpathian Mountains and follows the Danube northwest through the Iron Gate region where it gains a jet effect, then continues to Belgrade. It can spread as far north as Hungary and as far south as Niš and Sofia. The name is also used traditionally in northwestern Bulgaria to mean a northeastern or eastern wind. There is a saying that goes: "When košava blows, the Nišava freezes".
