Bora Wind is a strong, cold wind that typically occurs in the Adriatic Sea region, particularly along the eastern coast of Croatia. It is characterized by its sudden onset and can reach high speeds, often causing significant changes in weather conditions. The Bora is most common during the winter months but can occur at any time of the year.
This wind is caused by cold air descending from the Dinaric Alps and flowing down towards the sea. The Bora can create challenging conditions for sailors and is known for its ability to produce large waves and rough seas. Its effects can be felt in coastal towns, where it can lead to rapid temperature drops.
