Heatwave Approaches Croatia, Followed by Rain and Cooler Temperatures

Croatia is set to experience its first heatwave of the summer, with temperatures predicted to soar as high as 35 degrees Celsius starting Friday, according to Istramet. This heatwave follows a period of rain and potential thunderstorms, particularly in inland areas.

The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) forecasts a change in weather by the end of the week, bringing warmer conditions. However, before the summer heat fully sets in, a new round of rain is expected. The DHMZ anticipates possible showers and thunderstorms, which could be more intense in some locations.

Rain is expected to continue into Monday, with some intermittent showers likely, especially in the first half of the day. The weather is forecast to calm down afterward, with potential fog on Tuesday morning. Temperatures are expected to be significantly cooler inland on Monday, offering a brief respite before the heatwave intensifies.
