Homonym: Bora (Wind)
Bora is a strong, cold wind that typically occurs in the Adriatic Sea region, particularly in areas like Croatia and Italy. It is characterized by its sudden onset and can reach high speeds, often causing significant changes in weather conditions. The Bora wind is most common during the winter months and is known for its dry and clear skies.
This wind is caused by the differences in air pressure between the land and the sea, often influenced by the surrounding mountains. The Bora can create challenging conditions for sailors and is also a key factor in the local climate, affecting agriculture and tourism in the region.
