Wet Stones on a Foggy Night in Trieste

05-february-2021: Rive/Seafront from Audace Pier.

Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

 

The foggy and drizzly weather along "Le Rive" (Seafront) of Trieste is one of the various faces of winter in these areas.

 

The phenomenon, due to a mass of stratocumulus, 4-500m thick, grazing the sea level, is the result of African anticyclonic winter conditions (hot and dry air at high altitudes) with consequent thermal inversion spread over all maritime areas (where it acquires humidity) and plains of the entire basin of the Northern Adriatic Gulf of Venice.

 

A situation that has its own charm...were it not for the the increasing presence of the African/Saharan HP, at latitudes that are not its own, that makes this phenomenon too frequent and prolonged in the "new meteo-climatic conditions" for the European baric framework, indirectly dictated by the Global Warming, without any doubt.
