A change in the weather is coming: DHMZ has issued a yellow alert for two regions due to thunderstorms.

The Croatian State Hydrological and Meteorological Institute (DHMZ) has issued a yellow warning for the Gospić and Rijeka regions due to potential thunderstorms. The forecast indicates unstable weather conditions with occasional rain and thunderstorms, particularly in western parts of Croatia. These storms could be more intense during the night and early morning, followed by another period of heavy thunderstorm activity in the afternoon. DHMZ advises caution, especially in exposed areas such as mountains, forests, meadows, and open terrain. Temperatures are expected to range between 12°C and 17°C in the mornings, while coastal and island areas will see higher temperatures, reaching up to 24°C. During the day, temperatures are predicted to rise to between 27°C and 32°C, though they will be slightly lower in mountainous regions of Croatia. Winds are expected to be light along the coast, with moderate northwesterly winds in eastern areas. Light to moderate breezes are anticipated over the Adriatic Sea during the night and morning, shifting to southwesterly and northwesterly winds during the day.

The next heat wave will be short-lived.

A new heatwave is expected to hit Croatia, peaking around mid-July, but before that, there will be a brief cooling period over the weekend due to the passage of a weak cold front. According to meteorologist Bojan Lipovšćak from N1, unstable and moist air from the north will bring thunderstorms and light rain, particularly in inland areas and along the northern Adriatic. The cold front will move quickly eastward, leading to clear skies and rising temperatures by next week. The heatwave originating from Western Europe is slowly moving east, with maximum temperatures potentially reaching up to 40°C around July 17th. This will be followed by a significant intrusion of a cold front predicted for July 19th and 20th.

Europe could soon burn again: Meteorologist predicts new wave of extreme heat and severe storms

Meteorologist Jan Schenk has warned that Europe could experience another wave of extreme heat in July, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in Germany. The beginning of July is expected to bring more variable and slightly cooler weather with increased rainfall, but this pattern is unlikely to last. By mid-July, a new heatwave is anticipated, driven by a high-pressure air mass developing over Spain and France before spreading across central Europe, including Germany. This heat dome effect could trap hot air, leading to prolonged periods of high temperatures. Additionally, the combination of extended heat and dry conditions increases the risk of severe thunderstorms toward the end of the month, mirroring patterns seen in June.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a neutral report on weather forecasts and does not present any political opinions, biases, or ideological framing. It focuses solely on meteorological predictions and their potential impacts, without taking a stance or emphasizing any particular political perspective.

Why these scores (Factual 80 · Objective 75): The article discusses expected heatwaves in July but lacks specific temperature data or sources. It mentions similarities to June's heatwave but does not provide evidence to back this comparison. The tone leans slightly toward alarmism.
