Stories: THE BORA

After a strong cyclone moved through the Mediterranean and caused a lot of wind and blizzards in Spain, France and Italy, it reached Slovenia on 10th March 2010, where it caused some of the strongest Bora winds on record. Bora is a frequent gusty wind in the litoral regions of Slovenia, at its worst the wind speed peaking at 100 km/h, but this time wind speeds went well over 150 km/h. It tore out trees, opened rooftops, broke a lot of glass and cars, roads were closed for wind or impassable etc. 

  • Extreme bora wind gusts at more than 130 kmph in Razdrto, Slovenia, on 10th March 2010. The Bora is a common gusty wind in the littoral regions of Slovenia. A large cyclone that moved through Europe in March caused its highest windspeeds on record, snowdrifts, closed roads and plenty of damage.
