košava

(Translation, Yugoslavia)

"The mowing wind". The specially nasty southeast, which blows from the Kettle. The Kettle is the canyon through which Danube leaves the Pannonian flatlands, zigzagging between Serbia and Romania. That's where the storm simmers.

It's achieved some notoriety in Belgrade, because that's where all the rock bands are; there was even a Radio Košava, maybe a TV station for a while, Andrej Šifrer had a hit "Košava" (I guess he served army term in Belgrade, the sissy).

But Belgrade gets it easy, being all the way on the left wing of the wind. We get a lot more, and the poor guys in Vršac are just a few dozen kilometers from the mouth, they aren't surprised with 100 km/h.

It blows three. Hours, days, weeks - one never knows.
