The city awoke this morning to the unmistakable roar of the bora, the fierce northeasterly wind that sweeps through the Gulf of Trieste with sudden, muscular force. Meteorologists warn that gusts could intensify through the afternoon, reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, potentially disrupting transportation and making walking along the city’s exposed waterfront treacherous.
Local authorities have urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects on balconies, and use caution in areas where the wind funnels most powerfully through narrow streets.
For now, Triestini—no strangers to the bora’s dramatic entrance—are bracing for a day defined by slanted rain, roaring gusts, and the city’s characteristic struggle to stay upright. As always, officials recommend prioritizing safety until the winds begin to ease.
