Croatia is bracing for a dramatic shift in weather, as a spring reversal brings a mix of conditions across the country. While the initial part of the day promises sunny skies and rising temperatures, reaching up to 26ยฐC in many areas, this pleasant spell is short-lived. Meteorologists are warning of impending instability, with showers and thunderstorms expected to develop, particularly in inland regions.
Today we expect a real spring reversal, and then another one follows.
The forecast, as reported by N1, indicates that by the afternoon, the weather will turn, bringing localized downpours and thunderstorms, especially in central and northwestern Croatia. Even parts of the Adriatic coast may experience these sudden rainfalls by the end of the day. Winds will also pick up, with southerly and southwesterly breezes in the interior potentially gusting strongly during unstable periods, while the Adriatic will see a strengthening southerly wind, leading to choppier seas and increased humidity.
In the night to Tuesday, a change in weather follows due to the influx of unstable humid air. A cold front is expected with thunderstorms, showers, and gusty winds.
The real change, however, is expected early next week. A cold front is set to move through, bringing a significant drop in temperatures. This will be accompanied by thunderstorms, heavy showers, and potentially gale-force winds, particularly along the northern Adriatic coast. The shift from warm spring conditions to a much colder, more unsettled pattern highlights the volatile nature of the current weather systems affecting Croatia.
In the Podvelebit region, it can be stormy at times, even stormy.
