north-western + [geographical noun]

用法筆記

This adjective is almost always used directly before a noun (attributive position). In British English the hyphen is standard; American English often writes 'northwestern' as one word. Do not use 'north-western' for wind direction — use 'north-westerly' instead.

常見錯誤

A north-westerly wind brought cold air from the Arctic.
