Gales

Though autumn gales are less clement than summer zephyrs, they are more exciting.

Spring in the north sends gales to sweep the roads.

I slept well despite the howling gales outside.

Please be careful of gales and large waves.

'As oft, to daunt them, in the act to fly, / storms lashed the deep, and Southern gales withstand.'

They knew it would be harsh, but nothing could have prepared them for the terror of the almost continuous assaults from northeasterly storms and westerly gales that hardly eased for half of their crossing.
