The Croatian State Hydrological and Meteorological Institute (DHMZ) has issued a special warning about tropical nights, where temperatures remain above 20°C at night, which can negatively affect health. This phenomenon is expected to persist in Croatia until the end of the week and into the first half of next week due to high-pressure systems and warm air coming from the south-west and south. The heatwave poses additional risks in coastal urban areas, where nighttime temperatures often stay above 25°C. DHMZ advises citizens to follow weather warnings, avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak hours, stay hydrated, and seek cooler environments. They also highlight the importance of monitoring the UV index, which is currently high to very high across much of the country, increasing the risk of skin and eye damage. Additionally, while some light showers with thunderstorms are possible early in the week, these are expected to decrease by Thursday as the air becomes drier.

A heatwave is affecting Croatia, with temperatures expected to exceed 35°C in inland areas starting Friday and continuing into the weekend. The Adriatic coast remains under moderate to high health risk warnings due to prolonged heat, with nighttime temperatures not dropping below 25°C in some urban coastal areas. Sea temperatures are currently between 23–27°C but are expected to rise slightly. Light showers and thunderstorms are possible until Thursday, after which dry conditions will dominate. Health authorities advise avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, staying hydrated, and using protective measures against UV radiation, which is at a high to very high level across much of the country. The perceived heat sensation also depends on humidity and wind speed, with higher humidity making the heat feel more intense.
