Understanding the Impact of Bora Winds in the Vipava Valley, Slovenia

This article explores the characteristics and effects of the Bora (Burja) wind in the Vipava Valley, Slovenia, particularly noting its intensity with gusts reaching up to 180 km/h. We delve into the meteorological causes behind this strong north-northeast wind, its seasonal frequency, and the potential hazards it poses to human life, infrastructure, and agriculture. Additionally, we discuss the local road monitoring systems in place to manage the impacts of Bora, including criteria for road closures and the need for synchronized monitoring for enhanced safety.
