Fog Layers and First Rime on the Lower Part of the Eastern Bloke Plateau at 720m a.s.l.; Bloke Municipality, Internal Karst Region, Notranjska, Slovenija
18-September-2022
This is one of the few areas that was saved from the vast "hardships" of the long drought, above all thanks to the strong temperature range which determines a considerable accumulation of dew almost every clear night.
On average, we are dealing with 0.2/0.5mm of water every night, which means about 10/15mm per month, clearly superficial, but so much so that they were sufficient to keep this markedly continental area green (micro-climate, despite being only 50km from Trieste).
The geography of the area (a vast concave plateau) and the morphology of the terrain (mainly porous karst, clayey impermeable only in the lower areas) allow temperature ranges which in spring can exceed 30°C, with lows close to 0°C even in June (rarely) and September (as in the photo) and the absolute minimums are below -30°C from December to March, -21°C in April (the only very recent cold record, 7 April 2021), which is the lowest value for April ever and for the whole of Slovenia, including the mountain stations.
