Thunderhead in the Background Is Rapidly Developing While in the Foreground an Opposite Phenomenon Is Seen on the Vremščica Plateau Wet Moor; Coastal Karst Region, Divača, Primorska, Slovenija

06-June-2023: h08.00PM (CEST)

 

Here I am about 20 linear km north-east of Trieste and at an altitude of 870m on the Mount Vremščica ridge-plateau (the summit is 1026m a.s.l., while in front you can see the soft Slatina pre-peak, 929m a.s.l.),

Vremščica divides the Coastal Karst (Primorska in Slovenija and Trieste Karst in Italia) from the Internal Karst-Dinaric Region (Notranjska, Slovenija).

 

On this Karst moor (gmajna) it rained in the afternoon and now the weather is more stable.

 

With the sun hidden, isolated patches of fog form from saturation of the water vapor due to the cooling of the ground.

 

Radiation fog is an opposite phenomenon to the one that is developing (in the sky) in the direction of Ljubljana, where, unlike here, the previous sunshine has overheated the ground activating updrafts and the formation of towering clouds with a heavy thunderstorm forming.
