A north wind is a wind that originates in the north and blows in a southward direction. The north wind has had historical and literary significance, since it often signals cold weather and seasonal change in the Northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, especially in southern Australia, the north wind is a hot wind which often leads to bushfires.
The North wind plays a part in the Norwegian fable "East of the sun and west of the moon" as the only wind capable of helping a woman fly to the titular location to find her husband.
The wind plays an important role in another Norwegian folktale, "The Lad who went to the North Wind", giving the lad a tablecloth that produces food, a donkey that produces gold, and a stick that beats a person on command.

In "The Prophet" (1-7), Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran compares love to the north wind, saying it destroys our dreams as the wind destroys a garden:
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
