Trieste is once again experiencing the force of its iconic Bora winds. After several days of relatively mild gusts and a brief lull, the powerful winds returned this weekend, sweeping through the city and its surrounding areas.
According to meteorologists at ARPA FVG, the regional weather agency, the Bora is expected to intensify throughout the day, with stronger gusts predicted by this afternoon. The agency anticipates that the winds will maintain their strength, lasting through Tuesday and into Wednesday.
The Bora, a defining feature of Trieste’s climate, is known for its dramatic and sudden appearances. It often brings a mix of awe and inconvenience to residents, as its powerful gusts can disrupt daily life while offering breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea’s churning waves.
For now, Trieste’s residents are bracing for what could be a challenging start to the week as the wind continues to build strength. Emergency services have urged caution, particularly for pedestrians and drivers, as the Bora’s unpredictable gusts can pose safety risks.
Trieste, often hailed as the “City of Winds,” is no stranger to weathering the Bora. As locals often say, it is not just a wind but a force of nature, shaping the city’s spirit as much as its climate.
