What is the…
Euroclydon

also known as: Euraquilo, Noreaster, northeaster

Greek: Εὐροκλύδων —transliteration: Eurokludón —meaning: a storm from the East (or southeast)

This is the name of the wind which blew in the Adriatic Gulf, and which struck the ship in which Paul was wrecked on the coast of Malta (Acts 27:14 KJV; Acts 27:14 LSB: “Euraquilo”).

It is called a “tempestuous wind,” i.e., as literally rendered, a “typhonic wind,” or a typhoon. It is the modern Gregalia, Solano or Levanter (a strong easterly wind in the Mediterranean region). (Compare Jonah 1:4.)
