Significado
When the wind is blowing.
Contexto cultural
The 'Bura' wind is so strong it can close the Maslenica bridge. When it blows, schools might close, and people stay inside. Historical records suggest that the Republic of Ragusa didn't hold council meetings during the 'Jugo' wind to avoid bad decisions. Wind is essential for the production of 'Pršut' (dry-cured ham). The Bura dries the meat perfectly. The 'biometeorološka prognoza' (biometeorological forecast) is a standard part of the news, telling people how the wind will affect their health.
