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.
