Roads wet and slippery, and heavy traffic towards the sea: kilometer-long queue near Trakošćan

Drivers in Croatia are being warned of hazardous road conditions as the country experiences wet and slippery roads in various locations. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) advises motorists to adjust their speed and maintain safe distances due to localized heavy rainfall, potential fog, and the risk of landslides, particularly on mountain roads and the Adriatic Highway (DC8).

Traffic density is high, especially on the A1 motorway between Zagreb and Karlovac in the direction of the coast. A significant two-kilometer queue has formed on the A2 Zagreb-Macelj motorway at the Trakošćan toll station, heading towards Zagreb, indicating considerable travel delays.

Following a less stable end to the week, the weather is expected to improve. While scattered showers and thunderstorms may persist in some areas, particularly in central and western Croatia, more sunny periods are anticipated. The forecast suggests a gradual clearing and an increase in daily temperatures, with more stable conditions expected from Sunday.

Temperatures are expected to range from morning lows of 18-21°C in central regions to daytime highs reaching up to 31°C in the east and 34°C in the far south of the country. A northerly and northeasterly wind will blow in the east, while a stronger Bura wind is expected on the northern Adriatic coast in the evening. Despite the possibility of isolated showers, Dalmatia is predicted to have sunny and hot weather.
