When Mountains Wear Hats | OROGRAPHIC CLOUD at TAVOLARA Island - Sardinia

Location: Porto San Paolo - Olbia - Sardinia
Watching beautiful and unique Tavolara Island in front of the Sardinian coast in Porto San Paolo. Today Sirocco wind from SW is blowing coming from the sea. This wind is typically full of moisture and the humidity is relatively high. This mass of air flows over the sea when it meets the wall of Tavolara Island (564 meters high above sea level), and it is forced upwards; while the mass of air is risen, it begins to cool down and its temperature drops. At some point, it reached dew point, when the water vapor contained in the air condenses and it creates clouds and possibly some rain.
