Streets of Split Flooded Again: 'Water Flows Through the Streets Like a River'

The streets of Split have been flooded again due to heavy rainfall, with local residents describing water flowing through the streets like a river. According to data from the Crometeo network of automatic weather stations, the Kosi station recorded 95 liters of precipitation per square meter by 18:30. A reader of Net.hr attributed the flooding to a lack of cleanliness, stating that drains are clogged with leaves, preventing water from draining properly during rainstorms. The State Meteorological and Hydrological Service issued warnings for the Split-Dalmatia County regarding strong rain, thunderstorms, and strong southerly winds for Wednesday. A yellow warning for rain remains in effect until midnight. Authorities are urging citizens to exercise caution, act responsibly, adjust their daily activities to the weather conditions, and follow official announcements from competent authorities to ensure personal safety.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a natural disaster and infrastructure failure (flooding). While there is a mention of poor maintenance ('lack of cleanliness'), this is presented as a resident's opinion rather than a political accusation against specific officials or parties.

(VIDEO) Heavy storms flooded Split, in some places almost 100 liters of rain fell

A severe storm hit the central Dalmatia region, specifically affecting Split and surrounding areas, on Wednesday evening, causing significant flooding and traffic disruptions. Heavy rainfall resulted in streets being submerged, with water levels reaching over 30 centimeters on certain sections of Ulica Domovinskog rata in Split. Residents reported that flash floods lifted manhole covers, creating additional hazards for drivers, while traffic in Solin was heavily slowed due to flooded roads and hidden obstacles. Meteorological data indicated that some locations received nearly 100 liters of rain per square meter within a short period, accompanied by strong winds that worsened conditions. Consequently, several ferry and catamaran routes were suspended, and the Croatian Automobile Club issued warnings regarding slippery roads and the risk of landslides.
