The winds of Istria
Mistral (NW)
The Mistral wind is a cold and dry wind that blows from the northwest over the Adriatic Sea and affects the Istria region of Croatia. It typically occurs during the spring and summer months and can last for several days. The Mistral wind is caused by a high-pressure system over central Europe, which creates a pressure gradient that draws air from the northwest towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Bora (NE)
The Bora wind is a strong and gusty northeasterly wind that blows over the Adriatic Sea and affects the Istrian peninsula in Croatia. It is a cold, dry, and often violent wind that can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h and can last for several days.
Tramontana (N to NW)
The Tramontana wind is a cold and dry wind that blows from the north to northwest over the Istria region of Croatia. It is a gusty and often violent wind that can occur at any time of the year, but it is most common during the winter months. The Tramontana wind is caused by a high-pressure system over central Europe, which draws air from the north towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Jugo (SE)
The Jugo wind, also known as the Sirocco wind, is a warm and humid wind that blows from the southeast over the Adriatic Sea and affects the Istria region of Croatia. It typically occurs during the fall and winter months and can last for several days. The Jugo wind is caused by a low-pressure system over the Mediterranean and is often accompanied by heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
