Heatwave heading east: When and where to expect showers early in the week?

A deep cyclone has formed over the North Sea, while moist and unstable Atlantic air has moved into western and central Europe. Warm and dry air masses dominate over the Mediterranean and northern Africa, with the meeting point of warm African and cold oceanic air masses located over the Alps. The jet stream crosses the Atlantic north of the Azores, turns south along the coast of Great Britain, and moves across the Bay of Biscay toward mainland Europe, passing north of the Alps. This positioning prevents the spread of cold air toward the Mediterranean but keeps it over Central and Eastern Europe. Unstable air masses bypass or flow over the Alps, leading to less stable weather in northern regions and occasionally over the northern Adriatic, with the development of daily clouds and occasional afternoon showers. Today, mostly sunny conditions are expected, with possible rain in the north. Tomorrow, sunny mornings are anticipated, followed by increased cloud cover in the northwest interior and northern Adriatic regions. Light winds are expected, with some showers possible in mountainous areas during the evening and night. Temperatures will range between 17°C and 34°C, with high sea and

The weather on Thursday will mostly be dry and hot, with sunny conditions along the coast, though not entirely stable. Light rain showers may occur briefly in some areas. In the early morning, strong winds will affect the northern Adriatic. Detailed forecasts for the following days can be found in the HRT METEO app, alongside other meteorological reports from the Croatian Hydrometeorological Service (DHMZ). Thursday's weather will remain somewhat unstable, with dry conditions prevailing in Slavonia, Baranja, and eastern Croatia, featuring occasional clouds and temperatures ranging from 13 to 14°C at night to around 31°C during the day. Morning coolness will give way to hot afternoons, particularly in central Croatia, where sunny spells will alternate with cloudy periods. Light rainfall is possible in some regions. In the Gorski Kotar and parts of Istria, light cloud cover will persist, while the northern Adriatic will see more sunshine. A weak to moderate breeze, locally strong, will move through the region, possibly turning into a storm with gusts near Cape Kamenjak and Mount Velebit. Nighttime temperatures will range from 22 to 25°C, dropping to around 14°C inland, while daytime highs will be between 31 and 34°C, slightly lower in mountainous areas. In Dalmatia, temperatures will continue to rise, with a high heat warning in effect due to the ongoing heatwave. Although the afternoon sea breeze will provide some relief, the risk of heat-related health issues remains. Rainfall is unlikely, except in the Zagora area. Southern Croatia will also experience unstable weather, especially in Konavle near the border, where temperatures will remain high despite the cooling influence of the sea breeze and occasional storms. Friday and Saturday will bring even hotter weather, with temperatures peaking in the afternoon and reaching up to 34°C in many inland areas. Sunday will offer slightly cooler conditions, though still warm. Sunny periods will dominate throughout the week, with increased chances of brief rain showers starting from Saturday evening and continuing into Sunday morning, particularly in central and eastern Croatia. On the Adriatic coast, the weather will remain more stable, with clear skies and mild breezes, especially over the weekend. Nighttime temperatures will stay above 20°C, with daytime highs remaining around 30°C. Meteorologist Kristina Klemenčić-Novinc noted that the start of the new school year will be marked by stable, sunny, and hot weather, but conditions will change from Wednesday onwards. She warned that the prolonged heatwave could have negative effects on health, especially on the Adriatic coast, where the weather will remain challenging. The transition period will bring fatigue and irritability among students and teachers, with the worst conditions expected on Wednesday and Thursday. On Monday, the weather will be mostly sunny in Slavonia, Baranja, and eastern Croatia, with temperatures ranging from 13 to 15°C at night to around 31°C during the day. Central Croatia will experience hot afternoons, with cooler mornings. A slight increase in cloud cover is expected in the evening, while the wind will be light, except in the east where a moderate southeast wind will blow. On the northern Adriatic, a moderate breeze will develop in the night and early morning, giving way to a lighter northwest wind during the day. The lowest nighttime temperatures will range from 10°C inland to 23°C on islands, with daytime highs between 29 and 33°C. Tuesday will continue with stable and hot weather, though conditions will become more variable from Wednesday. Cloudy skies and light rain showers are expected in the afternoon, primarily in mountainous regions and central Croatia. A stronger northeast wind will bring cooler temperatures. On the Adriatic, Tuesday will remain mostly sunny, with increasing cloud cover and possible rain and thunderstorms later in the week. Stronger winds will develop on Wednesday, leading to potential storms on the northern Adriatic, particularly near Velebit. Temperatures will drop, notably in Istria and the Kvarner region. Yellow warnings for heatwaves remain in force for several regions, including the River Basin, Split, and Dubrovnik, due to high temperatures exceeding 33°C, 34°C, and 32°C respectively. Additional warnings for strong winds affecting the Velebit Channel and the Kvarner region are also in place. Weather conditions will remain largely unchanged on Tuesday, with sunny skies and warm temperatures expected across much of the country. From Wednesday, however, significantly more unstable weather is forecast, with rain and thunderstorms developing from the west, initially affecting mountainous regions and central Croatia. Increased northward winds will lead to cooler temperatures, with potential for heavy rain and thunderstorms on Thursday, particularly in the north and Dalmatia. Winds will strengthen further, bringing colder air to the north and potentially severe storms near Velebit. Temperature drops will be noticeable in Istria and the Kvarner region.

After the heat and the dust of the Sahara, parts of Croatia are waiting for refreshment!

After experiencing almost desert-like conditions yesterday with Saharan dust in the air, Croatia is expecting a cooling trend today, bringing some relief across much of the country. The weather change is due to a weakened frontal disturbance moving over the region, bringing slightly cooler air to land areas. Cloud cover has first affected the northern Adriatic and western parts of the country, with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, particularly around the Kvarner area. Light to moderate southwest winds will blow along the coast, while north and northeast winds will affect inland areas. Morning temperatures remain warm, especially in Dalmatia, but by afternoon, temperatures will drop slightly, though still remaining hot, reaching around 30°C. In Slavonia, Baranja, and Srijem, skies will gradually darken with increasing chances of rain and thunderstorms, especially around the Slavonian hills and possibly stronger in the evening in the Danube region. In Dalmatia, partly sunny conditions will prevail, with occasional clouds and possible light showers towards the north. Temperatures will stay very high, between 30 and 35°C.

There's no end in sight to the heatwave, north of here there could be showers.

A significant portion of Croatia remains under the influence of dry and warm African air, while somewhat unstable weather is expected in the northernmost regions and occasionally along the northern Adriatic. A noticeable drop in temperatures is not anticipated before September 10. A series of tropical cyclones and hurricanes are forming over the Pacific Ocean, including Typhoon Sauid, which has reached China's coast, and others such as Bang-Lang, Lala, Lowell, and Karina. These storms are moving over warmer-than-average ocean surfaces influenced by El Niño, bringing large amounts of moist air toward Indonesia. The Atlantic hurricane season is delayed, possibly due to the strong development of El Niño in the Pacific. Tropical storm Dolly has not yet reached hurricane intensity and is moving parallel to the equator toward the Caribbean Sea. Both the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas are currently warmer than their long-term averages, with notable temperature anomalies near the Azores and off Western Europe's coast. The collision of warm African air and cool oceanic air is creating instability over the Alps, leading to the formation of convective clouds, thunderstorms, and occasional cl
