Sunny skies to give way to showers and thunderstorms across Croatia

After a day of sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures across Croatia on Saturday, the weather is set to take a turn. Meteorologists are forecasting the arrival of a cold front from the northwest by Sunday evening, signaling an end to the current stable spell and ushering in a period of more unsettled weather.

Residents can expect a noticeable shift as the weekend concludes. While Saturday offered pleasant conditions with temperatures exceeding the seasonal average, Sunday will bring a change, particularly towards the evening. The forecast indicates a rise in cloud cover from the west, with the potential for rain, showers, and even thunderstorms developing in several regions. This instability is expected to persist into the early part of the upcoming week, with cooler temperatures becoming the norm.

The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) reports that while some areas, like Slavonia, Baranja, and Srijem, will enjoy sunshine for much of Sunday, the western and central parts of the country are more likely to experience the brunt of the incoming weather system. Coastal areas, including Istria and Dalmatia, will also see a mix of conditions, with a possibility of localized rain and thunderstorms. The shift serves as a reminder that while spring can bring warmth, it remains a transitional season prone to rapid weather changes across the diverse Croatian landscape.
