A hot weekend ahead, and then the change comes.

The article discusses the upcoming weekend weather in Croatia, which will remain hot and sunny with temperatures ranging between 31 and 35°C during the day. Along the coast, there will be light winds and some areas may experience moderate easterly or southeasterly breezes. Doctors advise reducing physical exertion, avoiding prolonged sun exposure between 10 AM and 5 PM, eating lighter meals, drinking more fluids, and performing daily activities early in the morning or in the evening. A change in weather is expected by Monday, bringing cooler temperatures and potential rain showers, especially in the afternoon and evening. However, this cold front may not fully resolve the issues caused by the prolonged drought. By mid-next week, the weather is expected to become sunny and warm again, continuing the summer conditions.

The weather on Tuesday was mostly sunny and extremely hot across Croatia, with some instability reported along the western regions. According to the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), temperatures reached up to 38 degrees Celsius in central parts of the country, while the Adriatic coast remained warm, with sea temperatures ranging between 26 and 28 degrees. In the northwestern areas, light rain showers and thunderstorms were possible, especially near the border with Slovenia and in the Zagora region. A stronger breeze was expected later in the day, shifting towards the northwest and southwest directions. The forecast suggested that the heatwave would continue into Wednesday, with temperatures possibly reaching 40 degrees in inland areas, particularly in Dalmacia. Meteorologist Dunja Plačko-Vršnak from the State Hydrometeorological Service (DHMZ) noted that the heatwave would persist through the weekend, with high chances of dry conditions prevailing over much of the country. However, she warned that there could be localized rainfall and thunderstorms in the interior of Dalmacia, especially around midday. On the Adriatic coast, the weather would remain very hot, with moderate breezes and occasional storms, particularly near Mount Velebit, where strong winds and even stormy conditions might develop by Thursday. By Friday, the heat would begin to ease slightly, though the overall trend of high temperatures would continue. In contrast, the National Television of Croatia (N1) reported that the weekend would bring continued high temperatures, with the possibility of some rain and thunderstorms appearing by Monday. The weather would remain largely sunny throughout the weekend, with daytime temperatures ranging from 32 to 36 degrees Celsius. However, the air would be dry, and the risk of wildfires would remain elevated due to the combination of high temperatures and low humidity. Local authorities advised residents to reduce physical activity during peak hours and to stay hydrated to avoid heat-related illnesses. The National Radio and Television of Croatia (HRT) also highlighted that the heatwave would intensify further, with temperatures potentially rising above 40 degrees Celsius in certain areas. The Adriatic coast would experience particularly intense heat, with sea temperatures remaining high and the wind direction shifting to the southwest. In the northern parts of the country, including Gorski Kotar and Istria, localised rainfall and thunderstorms were predicted, especially in the afternoon. The morning would see lighter breezes, which would gradually shift to the northwest and southwest as the day progressed. According to the latest forecasts from the DHMZ, the heatwave would likely continue through the following days, with the highest temperatures recorded in the interior of Dalmacia. The weather would remain predominantly sunny, with only occasional clouds forming in the early afternoon. The coastal areas would maintain their warmth, with sea temperatures continuing to rise. However, the service also indicated that a gradual cooling trend might begin by the middle of the next week, although this would not necessarily lead to a complete break from the current heatwave. Local meteorologists have expressed concerns about the prolonged period of extreme heat, noting that it has already led to increased water consumption and higher energy demands. Public health officials have issued warnings about the risks associated with heat exposure, advising vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children to take extra precautions. Despite these challenges, the outlook suggests that the weather will remain largely unchanged for the foreseeable future, with only minor fluctuations expected in the coming days.
