A local wind system characterized by a gentle, cool breeze that blows from the lake towards the land during the day, particularly in mountainous regions surrounding large lakes. It is a type of anabatic wind, driven by the differential heating between the land and the water surface. The ora typically reverses direction at night, becoming a land breeze.
