Mistral winds are a type of strong, northwesterly wind that can occur in the Podstrana region of Croatia. These winds are most commonly associated with the Mediterranean region, and are caused by a high-pressure system that develops over the Alps. As air flows down from the mountains and across the Adriatic Sea, it can pick up speed and intensity, creating powerful gusts that can reach speeds of up to 50 knots (about 60 miles per hour).
