Croatia Braces for Storms and Heatwave as DHMZ Issues Orange Alerts

Croatia is set for a weekend of extreme weather contrasts, with parts of the country facing the threat of severe thunderstorms while others endure a persistent heatwave. The State Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) has issued orange alerts, signaling dangerous conditions, particularly for inland regions. These alerts warn of the potential for strong thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and gusty winds.

Simultaneously, the southern regions of Croatia will continue to grapple with high temperatures. The heatwave is expected to persist, with thermometers potentially reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius.
