Don't put away your umbrellas just yet, but here's when real summer weather returns

Croatia can expect a transition from unstable, rainy weather to a more pleasant, summery feel starting Sunday. While Saturday will still see variable cloudiness and scattered showers, particularly in the interior and eastern parts of the country, conditions are set to improve significantly by the end of the day.

The forecast from DHMZ indicates that Saturday's maximum temperatures will range between 22 and 27 degrees Celsius. Coastal areas will experience more sunshine with a light to moderate southwest wind. However, the real return of summer warmth is anticipated for Sunday.

DHMZ predicts predominantly sunny skies on Sunday, with only moderate cloud development during the day. While morning fog might occur in some places, the majority of the day is expected to be stable and dry. Temperatures will climb, with morning lows between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius and daytime highs reaching 26 to 30 degrees Celsius. Some areas along the Adriatic coast could feel quite hot.

Winds on the coast will be moderate northwest, though a stronger bura wind is expected to pick up again on the northern coast in the evening. Overall, Sunday is shaping up to be an ideal day for outdoor activities, excursions, or a trip to the seaside, offering a true introduction to summer weather for most of Croatia.
