Hot and dusty southerly Mediterranean wind (7)

I believe the answer is:

sirocco

(Other definitions for sirocco that I've seen before include "Hot, dry wind from northern Africa" , "Hot dusty wind from north Africa to Europe" , "Hot air" , "Hot south wind from North Africa" , "Wind from the desert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
