1.)A zephyr is either a light breeze, or a wind usually the west wind, or another name for a type of blimp.
2.)A zephyr is an instant messenger protocol and application-suite with a heavy Unix background. Using the "do one thing, do it well" philosophy of Unix, it was made up of several separate programs working together to make a complete messenging system.

A zephyr is a tiny wind current that is so small it can make one little leaf on a tree shake like its in a tornado,but the other leaves around it are perfectly calm,It is a very interesting weather phenomenon. Hope this answered your question the best :)

Most times I've heard it referenced, Zephyrs are actually referring to a type of blimp. I mean come on, what's cooler, a giant party balloon or a lame gust of wind?
Although since you posted under weather, yeah it's just a little gust.
