Q. Which winds are also known as Doctor winds?
Answer: Harmattan
Notes: The Harmattan winds are hot and dry winds which originate from the Sahara Desert and blow towards the Guinea coast of Africa. As these winds arrive on the western coast of Africa, the weather turns into pleasant dry weather with low relative humidity, thus bringing great relief to the people. Due to this reason, they are also known as doctor winds.
