[hide]Moravska has two climates. The coast is warm and wet. The interior is cold in winter and dry in late summer. The Kervan range separates the two.
Coast (Zaligrad, Skalina) [edit]
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| January mean | 2.4 °C |
| July mean | 23.1 °C |
| Sea temperature in August | 24 °C |
| Rain per year | 570 mm |
| Rain days per year | 96 |
| Snow days per year | 14 |
| Fog days per year | 21 |
The coast has a long mild autumn. The sea stays warm until October. The state resort season runs from June to September. See Architecture for the resort complexes.
Interior (Medenik, Branishte) [edit]
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| January mean | −1.8 °C |
| July mean | 22.0 °C |
| Rain per year | 620 mm |
| Snow days per year | 38 |
| Frost days per year | 92 |
The interior freezes hard in January and February. The Zala river can carry ice. Ice stops the barges for 3 to 5 weeks in a normal year.
Winds [edit]
Three winds shape the coast.
- Bora — a cold north-east wind. It comes in winter and blows for 1 to 4 days. It stops small boats and closes the fishing grounds.
- Morska — the summer sea breeze. It starts near noon and falls at sunset. It cools the ports and carries the smelter smoke inland.
- The southern wind — a warm, wet wind from Turkey. It brings rain and sudden storms in October.

Warning:
|
The word "Bora"
The old notes called the warning bora-vzk and traced it to a Venetian word for a cold wind. The trace is correct. Venetian and Genoese sailors used the ports for 300 years. The local word is now boravzk. It means "Bora is coming".

Seasons and work [edit]
| Season | Months | Sea | Main work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter | December to February | Closed to small boats | Smelting, repair, net mending, school |
| Spring | March to May | Opens in late April | First catch, planting, resort repair |
| Summer | June to September | Full season | Fishing, tourism, shipping, harvest |
| Autumn | October to November | Closes in November | Wine, canning, plan review |
Sailing window [edit]
Small boats sail from 20 April to 10 November. The state sets the dates each year. The Kray enforces them.
|
Note:
|
The Opening and the Closing
Two festivals mark the window. The Opening of the Sea is in April. The Closing of the Sea is in November. See Festivals and Calendar.

Climate and the plan [edit]
The plan assumes a good year. A bad year breaks the plan. The state counts three bad years in each decade.
- A frozen Zala stops the grain barges.
- A dry July cuts the sunflower and maize crop.
- A storm in October sinks small boats and cuts the fish catch.
- A hot August fills the resorts and empties the copper plant of workers.
See Economy 1976 for the plan targets and Timeline of Moravska history for the dated events.
