Egypt, but he north wind is a dry wind if you are in Palestine where the wind comes off of more arid lands.

Finally, there was the east wind . This wind was a scorning wind from the desert that was hot, gusty and laden with sand and dust. It occurred most frequently in May and October. It caused high temperatures quickly; it caused vegetation to wither; and it was often very destructive. The good news is that it seldom lasted for more than three days at a time. In Jeremiah this is called “the wind of the wilderness” (Jer. 13:24; See also Jer. 4:1; Hos. 13:15).

Therefore I will scatter them like stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness. Jeremiah 13:24

In was this wind that destroyed the house of Job and all of his children (Job 1:19, NLT).

In the realm of navigation on the sea, these winds were the most feared (Ps. 48:7; Acts 27:14).
