Definition: Les Suêtes is a term local to Cape Breton. It comes from "sud est," the French for south east. In the Northern Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia strong southeast winds, Les Suêtes, pick up speed across the open northern plateau and race down the western side of the mountains. Gusts can reach 200 km/h (125 mph).
Environment Canada issues weather warnings for Les Suêtes covering the coast of the “Inverness County - Mabou and North” forecast region in Nova Scotia when the forecast is for 70 km/h (43.5 mph) or more sustained wind and/or gusts to 90 km/h (56 mph) or more.
