After the scorching heat, there's another scourge: a "flood", a storm and hurricane-force winds!

An article from Slobodna Dalmacija reports on an expected severe weather event affecting Croatia and much of the western Balkans midweek. A strong cold front from the Atlantic is set to collide with very warm and humid air over the Mediterranean, creating conditions for intense weather, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong wind gusts. The weather change begins on Wednesday, with the most significant impact expected late Wednesday and Thursday. Heavy rain, up to 150–200 liters per square meter in some areas, is anticipated, particularly along the northern Adriatic. The risk of flash floods increases due to repeated storm systems over the same area. After the front passes, significantly colder air from the north will arrive, causing temperatures to drop by 15–20 degrees Celsius within 24 hours. This marks the end of the unusually hot start to September and brings more autumn-like weather. In higher parts of the Alps, stronger snowfall is also expected. The article explains that record-high temperatures over the Mediterranean have created highly unstable atmospheric conditions, leading to the potential for powerful and prolonged storms.

Alarms are going off, there's a flood coming, there's a fight, and there's a possibility of a tornado!

An article from Slobodna Dalmacija reports on an expected severe weather event affecting Croatia and much of the western Balkans midweek. A strong cold front from the Atlantic is set to collide with warm, moist air over the Mediterranean, creating conditions for intense weather, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning strikes, gusty winds, and potential flooding. The most significant impact is anticipated along the northern Adriatic, where up to 150–200 liters of rain per square meter could fall within two days. The article notes that storm clouds may develop multiple times over the same area, increasing flood risk, while large hail, very strong wind gusts, and locally possible tornadoes are also mentioned. Temperatures are expected to drop by 15–20 degrees Celsius in some areas, marking the end of the unusually warm September start and bringing more autumn-like weather. In higher parts of the Alps, the first stronger snowfall is also predicted.

A possible fight and tornado, Severe Weather has mentioned Croatia

A dramatic weather pattern, referred to by Severe Weather Europe (SWE) as the 'killer of summer,' is forming across Europe this week. This pattern involves a strong trough in the upper atmosphere over the North Atlantic, which will trigger a powerful cold front moving through Western and Central Europe, colliding directly with an extremely hot air mass. The unstable collision will lead to severe weather conditions from the Alps down to the western Balkans, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures. Strong winds, heavy thunderstorms, torrential rain, and locally possible tornadoes are expected. Temperatures, previously around 35–40°C, are projected to fall by 15–20°C within less than 24 hours. This sudden cooling will bring snowfall to higher Alpine areas and introduce fresh autumn conditions across Western and Central Europe.

There is no political framing, bias, or commentary on policies, officials, or governance. It remains strictly factual and descriptive.
