CroatiaOn June 20, 2023, Zagreb was hit by a severe storm with hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall, marking one of the strongest storms recorded in the area in over 100 years. The storm resulted in two fatalities and significant material damage across Zagreb and surrounding areas. Two men were killed—one in Čavićevo Street after a tree fell on his car, and another in Novi Zagreb after a tree struck him while he was fleeing the storm. Additional casualties occurred in Brodski Posavski and Vukovarsko-Srijemska counties. According to the State Hydro-Meteorological Institute, wind gusts reached up to 115 km/h in some areas, and rainfall intensity was extremely high, with 20–35 liters per square meter falling within minutes. Meteorologist Branko Grisogono explained that such storms are difficult to predict due to their mesoscale nature and the complex atmospheric conditions required for their formation.
