east wind
Sunrise-direction gust
An east wind is a wind blowing from the east.
In the Northern Hemisphere, east winds often bring cold, harsh weather, giving the phrase negative connotations in literature and folklore: An east wind is coming, Watson.
The term appears in biblical contexts as a destructive force.
Sailors and farmers traditionally regarded east winds with suspicion.
