It has been a very hot few days in Croatia, and the sun continues to shine where I am, on the island of Hvar.
But there has been a drastic change elsewhere in Croatia, with torrential rain, and even hail (check this video) hitting various parts of Croatia this afternoon. Radio Rijeka announced that the temperature in the city dropped 8 degrees in ten minutes between 12:20 and 12:30, during which time 20 litres of rain fell and winds got up to 75 km/h.
