I've heard dry or moist for Scirocco, my fav. def'n is "A hot dry wind
which causes severe headaches". 
Right now I'd trade "cold, moist and miserable" for "hot and anything".
Well, Virginia in summer might be a bit overwhelming right now, that's
pretty oppressive, I'll agree. It is here too in the summer. 

20 years of one-ness? I couldn't afford one back then, just a more mundane
Jetta. Which I guess is named for a wind too, now that I think of it.
