vardar A cold fall wind blowing from the northwest down the Vardar valley in Greece to the Gulf of Salonika. It occurs when atmospheric pressure over eastern Europe is higher than over the Aegean Sea, as is often the case in winter. Also called vardarac. Seasonal pressures over Europe can be found in the World Atlas RES 16.
