Sažetak
This paper analyses meteorological conditions on the island of Vis, for the bee-keeping purpose, by means of the data supplied by the Komiža station over the 1981-1990 period. Special attention will be paid to meteorological characteristics in the period from March to June, an important period with regard to bee keeping. During the year the most frequent wind is bora from the N-NE direction and in spring sirocco from the SE direction. Situation changes in June, due to a decrease in frequency of the sirocco occurrence and an increase in that of the NW wind. In 81% of cases in spring the strength of wind ranges from light breeze to weak wind (1-3B), and share of calm is 3.1%. In 12.2% of cases the wind is moderately strong (4-5B) and in 3.7% stronger than 6B. Only rarely in March the negative air temperature may occur. Warm days and nights sometimes occur already in May, and hot days in June. Therefore, the extreme temperatures range from -3.2°C in March to 33.2°C in June. The air at Komiža is relatively rich with moisture in spring. The days with large amount of precipitation are rare as meteorological phenomena, thunder and fog.
