The harmattan is an intensely dry and dusty wind that blows south off the Sahara. As the wind sweeps over the desert it kicks up huge clouds of dust. That dust creates choking fogs and coats everything in a yellowy dirt. And while the days are hot, the nights turn surprisingly cold â a considerable shock for regions such as southern Nigeria that normally swelter in a hot, humid climate.
COOLroom scientists name winds based on the direction the wind is coming from. So, if someone in the COOLroom says that there is a Southwest wind blowing, they mean that the wind is coming from that direction. So, a Southwest wind comes from the Southwest, and is moving towards the Northeast. If you want to use degrees instead, a Southwest wind direction equals 225 degrees. So, a wind direction of 225 degrees means that the wind is coming from the 225 degree position of the compass, and is moving towards the opposite direction, or 180 degrees away. If you subtract 180 from 225, you are left with 45 degrees (225  180 = 45).
