单词	nor'west arch
释义	nor'west arch /ˌnɔːwɛst ˈɑːtʃ / noun NZ A distinctive arch-shaped cloud formation often visible in the skies above the Canterbury Plains when a northwest wind is blowing: there’s some blue far to the west where the nor’west arch sweeps across... The scene is typical of Christchurch late on a nor'west day when the nor'west arch of cloud leaves a clear view of the mountains and the sky gilded by the setting sun. Flying into Christchurch, the evening light sliding low and green beneath a nor'west arch, you are surprised to see the Waimakariri, sinuous as an eel. When the nor'westers come over the Southern Alps under certain conditions the air goes into a wave and creates clouds which are bands across the Canterbury Plains, and eventually the nor'west arch is created.
