Bora (wind)
Bora (Bosnian: bura, Bulgarian: буран, Croatian: bura, Greek: βοράς, Italian: bora, Slovene: burja, Turkish: bora) is a northern to north-eastern katabatic wind in the Adriatic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Greece, Slovenia, and Turkey.
The same root is found in the name of the Greek mythological figure of Boreas/Βορέας, the North Wind. Historical linguists speculate that the name may derive from a Proto-Indo-European root *gworh- meaning mountain.)
In Greek apart exists also the word "bora" (μπόρα) that describe an intense summer rain that lasts for a few minutes. In Albanian the word "bora" means snow.
