Far Storming Towards Gulf of Venice; Villaggio del Pescatore, Trieste, FVG
19-August-2024
Under the vast anvil of a fading supercell to the east (to the left/behind in the photo) new cumulonimbus clouds are forming to the south-west, due to residual downdraft winds from it and flowing over a sea that is almost 30°C warm!
The sky is interesting and visible also thanks to the 50-second lens aperture that on the one hand recreates the fluid movement of the clouds in almost 1 minute (although detail is partly lost), on the other it manages to capture all the artificial light possible without increasing the ISO
Small injections of slightly less hot air at altitude are enough to exploit the potential energy of a boiling sea at 45° north latitude, where the hamlet called Villaggio del Pescatore ("Fisherman's Village") is located, near the mouth of the river "Timavo" which has an initial open-air course on the Slovenian Karst, where it is called "Reka", then a long underground route in still (almost) unexplored caves and the here nearby final resurgence, where it is then called "Timava" (izvir Timave) by the Slovenians, while in Italian it is "Timavo" the entire course, from the Dletvo reliefs, between Slovenia and Croatia to the mouth at Villaggio del Pescatore.
The Timavo divides the provinces of Trieste and Gorizia.
Here we are in the northernmost area of all Mediterranean sea, but the shallow depth of the upper Adriatic sea, during 2 extremely hot months (the two-month period July-August 2024 was the hottest ever recorded over a vast area of southern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Balkans) and almost always sunny, has allowed the overheating of the entire water column.
Of course these are isolated Tstorms, the first real Atlantic front will reach these areas only on September 8, 2024.
