Hot Mediterranean wind (7)
I believe the answer is:
sirocco
'hot mediterranean wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sirocco that I've seen before include "Hot wind that blows across the Mediterranean" , "Hot wind blowing from north Africa to southern Europe" , "Hot Saharan wind blowing into the Mediterranean" , "a blow to Italy?" , "Wind from the desert" .)
