Sudden summer storm “NEVERA” often will not be forecasted, but it can be predicted if you observe the horizon. Thunders forming a “front” and coming from W/NW/N with sudden sea level rise (tide) are almost certain sign of Nevera. It can pick up to 70kts winds (W/NW/N) although it doesn't last more than one hour it can cause serious damage to your yacht and put your life in danger!
