La tramontana, ou gregal, ou gregou (à ne pas confondre avec la tramontane) [est un] vent violent de Nord à Nord Est qui souffle sur le golfe de Gênes et le Nord de la Corse. Il doit habituellement sa naissance à un anticyclone (hautes pressions) centré sur l'Est de la France et une dépression (basses pressions) sur le Sud de Italie. La tramontana fait souvent suite au mistral et procure en été des brises propices à la navigation une fois la mer tombée. 4, record 1, French, - tramontane
