Water Below and Water Above; Trieste Coast, Italy
25-september-2022
September was an extremely rainy month, the only (well) above average, from May 2021, that is the only rainy month in well over a year, but...
I am referring only to the Gulf of Trieste, Coastal Karst and part of Istra/Kvarner area, on others areas, at random, it rained a lot less.
The photo is taken from the Coastal Road towards Trieste City, which, beyond the Hapsburg/Miramare Castle, is obscured by the strong Thunderstorm, persisted there for hours and then temporarily moved towards me.
The "Costiera Triestina" is a total of 22km long of which 6km were under T-storms for (totally) over of 4 consecutive hours, always those 6km!
At my weather station, on the outskirts of Trieste and at the foot of the City's Karst Ridge, 356mm (or 356 liters per square meter) of rain fell in September 2022, that is almost 3 times the historical average.
In October the rain stopped immediately, while it should have just started according to the rainfall of this area which sees the months of October and November as the rainiest of the year, according to the historical series.
For some years now, historical averages have been just statistics with no real correspondence.
Today you can expect anything at any time of the year.
