Gale force northerly winds have been ripping through the Dubrovnik region all day bringing polar temperatures as well as causing havoc to traffic. The Dubrovnik Bridge has been closed all as winds of up to 140 km/h battered the bridge and it could be seen physically moving in the wind.

Trees were uprooted all over the county and the fire-brigade had their hands full all day clearing roads from branches. With temperatures dropping to – 3 degrees ice formed on many roads and with the strong winds the “Real Feel” temperature plummeted to – 15 degrees. Dubrovnik Airport was also closed all day to all flights, with flights to Dubrovnik being rerouted to Split Airport.

This caravan was picked up and tossed like a toy in the wind near the Ombla River in Komolac.
