Lead: On Monday, partly sunny weather with possible local showers is expected across parts of Croatia, according to the latest forecasts from the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) and the State Hydrometeorological Service (DHMZ). The weather pattern has been marked by unsettled conditions over the past few days, with thunderstorms and heavy rain affecting coastal areas, particularly on Sunday. The weekend saw a mix of sunny spells and occasional light rain inland, while the Adriatic Sea remained relatively calm, though with some wind activity. As the week progresses, the weather is set to stabilize, with increasing temperatures and more consistent sunshine expected. According to the DHMZ, on Monday, the weather will remain partly cloudy with a small chance of localized showers, especially in the west. The temperature is forecast to rise, with daytime highs reaching around 30 degrees Celsius. Wind conditions will vary, with moderate northwest winds in the evening and stronger gusts in the morning. In the central part of Croatia, the day will start with mostly sunny skies, but there could be a slight increase in cloud cover later, leading to isolated showers in the afternoon. The wind will generally be light, but it will strengthen along the coast in the late afternoon. Morning temperatures are expected to range between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius, while daytime temperatures will hover around 29 to 31 degrees. In the northwestern regions, the weather is predicted to be mostly sunny throughout the day, with a slight chance of brief showers in the evening. The temperature will gradually rise, with nighttime lows ranging from 16 to 21 degrees. Along the coast, the sea breeze will bring cooler air, and the water temperature will remain comfortable for swimming. However, the wind will pick up slightly during the night, bringing in some gusty conditions. On Tuesday, the weather is expected to become even more stable, with widespread sunshine across the mainland and the Adriatic coast. The influence of an anticyclone from the west will help maintain this trend, although some frontal systems will shift further north. The temperature will continue its upward trajectory, with daytime highs likely to reach 32 degrees Celsius in some areas. The wind will remain light, except near the coast where it may turn into a moderate southwest or northwest breeze. Nighttime temperatures will stay above 19 degrees, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities. By Wednesday, the weather is projected to remain largely sunny, with only scattered clouds in some inland areas. The heatwave that has been developing since earlier in the week is expected to intensify, with temperatures continuing to climb. The DHMZ warns that there is a moderate likelihood of a heatwave occurring in the mountainous regions of Croatia and the interior of Dalmacia. This means residents should take precautions against the rising temperatures, especially during the early hours of the day when the heat can be more intense. Throughout the coming days, the weather is expected to remain dry and warm, with only occasional light rain in the western parts of the country. The wind will continue to be light, with some strengthening along the coast, but overall, the conditions will remain favorable for travel and outdoor activities. Meteorologists are currently monitoring the situation closely, as they anticipate that the current weather pattern will persist for several more days before any significant changes occur.
