The chain of the Dinaric mountains (Orjen, Lovcen, Rumija) rises steeply above the coast like a gigantic backdrop and prevents the sea climate from penetrating into the interior.
The sudden shifting of these masses of air, very damp owing to the proximity of the sea, the mountain peaks and the great contrasts of temperature provoke strong electric discharges.
Reality is perfectly reflected by this poetic image: "Thunder is music for Lovcen." Two peaks of this massif, the Jezerski and the Stirovnik, are so close that the electric discharges there take place with hardly any interval between lightning and thunder.
