Bora Winds are strong, cold winds that typically blow from the northeast in the Adriatic Sea region, particularly affecting the eastern coast of Croatia. These winds occur when cold air from the Alps descends rapidly into the warmer air over the sea, creating gusty conditions that can reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. The Bora is most common during the winter months but can occur at any time of the year. It is known for its sudden onset and can lead to significant changes in weather, impacting local maritime activities and creating challenging conditions for sailors and fishermen.
