Zagreb clouds over: Thunderstorm warning issued

Zagreb experienced a rapid shift in weather on the afternoon of May 27, as heavy cloud cover rolled in following a day of warm temperatures that reached approximately 30 degrees Celsius. This sudden change signals the arrival of a more unstable air mass expected to affect inland Croatia.

Forecasters predict that this unstable weather could bring localized showers and thunderstorms. While these events are often short-lived, they may be intense in certain areas, accompanied by strong winds and a possibility of hail. The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) had previously issued yellow warnings for several regions due to the potential for thunderstorm activity after a period of hot weather.

Zagreb is particularly susceptible to the development of strong clouds and isolated showers throughout the day and into the evening. The dramatic change in the sky's appearance, from partly clear in the morning to heavily overcast by the afternoon, was captured by readers of Večernji list, illustrating the swiftness of the weather's transition.

The unstable conditions are expected to persist into the evening hours, continuing the possibility of unsettled weather across the region.
