southerlier

This term is primarily used in meteorological contexts or regional dialects to describe a specific wind direction. As a noun, it identifies the wind itself, while as an adjective, it describes the quality or direction of the wind, often implying a shift toward the south compared to a previous state.

Because it is a specialized term for wind direction, it is rarely used in general conversation outside of weather reporting or nautical and agricultural discussions. It carries a descriptive, technical tone rather than an emotional or figurative one.
