Croatia Braces for Heatwave, but Showers May Linger This Weekend

Croatia is set to experience a rise in temperatures, with forecasts indicating highs of up to 27 degrees Celsius from Sunday through Tuesday. The upcoming week promises predominantly sunny conditions across the mainland, signaling a welcome return to warmer weather after a period of instability.

However, the weekend is not expected to be entirely dry. While Saturday is predicted to be partly sunny and generally stable, pockets of rain and localized thunderstorms are still possible in some regions. Specifically, Slavonia, Baranja, and Srijem may see rain during the night and Saturday morning, potentially including heavier downpours. The afternoon is expected to bring variable cloud cover with more sunny spells.

Temperatures on Saturday are anticipated to range from around 14 degrees Celsius in the morning to a high of 22-24 degrees Celsius inland. Coastal areas might experience slightly warmer conditions, with highs reaching up to 26 degrees Celsius in the north and 25-27 degrees Celsius in Dalmatia. A light to moderate southerly wind is expected, turning to a southwesterly breeze later in the day. Despite the generally sunny outlook, a slight possibility of afternoon showers exists in the hinterland of Dalmatia.
