Last night, a powerful thunderstorm swept through the Zagreb area, and showers with thunder are expected to continue in the region today. The rain will be heavy in some places, particularly in the central part of the country and in the east, where there will be a north-easterly wind. Tomislava Hojsak, B.Sc. ing for HRT has forecasted that at the end of the day, sleet and snow may occur in the highest mountains.

On the Adriatic Sea, moderate to strong southerly winds are expected to blow throughout the day. These winds will eventually turn into a gale that can reach stormy speeds with possible storm surges. Inland areas are likely to experience temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius, while temperatures on the Adriatic could reach up to 15 degrees but are predicted to drop in the afternoon.

Wednesday on the mainland is expected to be cloudy and windy with less rain falling primarily in Dalmatia. However, snow and sleet are expected in Lika and Zagora’s highest areas with possible showers with thunder in southern parts of Croatia. The second half of Wednesday may see partial clearing, with scattered rain mainly occurring in Lika and Dalmatia regions. Winds are expected to be moderate to strong at times, sometimes reaching stormy northeast speeds. Additionally, on the Adriatic Sea, gales with storms can be expected especially at Velebit’s foot or hurricane force winds could blow on this region as well
